Conference of Agriculture Ministers: Less bureaucracy for farmers. Excessive rules and regulations for agriculture should now be thinned out.

First steps will be implemented by mid-2024, it was said on Friday in Erfurt. German Farmers' Association had called for a reduction in bureaucracy. “Our companies are overwhelmed by bureaucracy. This effort costs an immense amount of time and therefore money,” criticized association president Joachim Rukwied, who was speaking on the sidelines of the conference.
