SDSM to propose legal aid for rice producers in North Macedonia
SDSM President Venko Filipče has announced that the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) will propose specific legal measures in the Assembly to assist farmers, particularly rice producers. During a meeting with agricultural workers in the village of Grdovci, located in the Kočani region, Filipče criticized the current government for a lack of initiative and failing to address the growing crisis in the sector.
Filipče highlighted that agricultural costs have risen by at least 30% and noted difficulties regarding purchase prices, VAT refunds, and debt management for firms. The proposed legislative solutions are intended to focus on subsidies and stabilizing purchase prices to mitigate the deepening economic crisis facing farmers.
