🔴For the 3⃣rd year in a row, European cereal producers are in the red economically, losing up to €500 per hectare. This situation is becoming increasingly structural and should raise concern well beyond the farming sector. What is the main driver? Fertilisers and their prices.
While crop prices remain relatively stable, fertilisers prices have seen a dramatic increase in the EU, creating a scissor effect ✂️
To make the situation worse, starting in 2026, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), enforced by the @EU_Commission impose additional tariffs on imported goods with higher CO₂ emissions, including fertilisers.
📌On Monday 13th, the European Commission will organise a high-level meeting in Brussels on this issue. Ahead of that event, we wanted to set the record straight with a video showing how cereals and arable farmers are really impacted on the ground.
One thing is certain: if we don’t act now, the future of EU cereals, all other arable crops, and the 🇪🇺 farmers who grow them is at risk. And that is a future none of us can afford!

Philippe Tillous Borde vient de nous quitter. Au delà de la tristesse et de l’émotion de son départ, je retiens sa vision, son sens politique aiguë et sa détermination constante. La filière Oleopro lui doit tant. Merci PTB. Nos sincères condoléances à sa famille @Avril
EPV @Timmermans yesterday said: "Especially now, during this energy crisis, we need more fossil-fuel free trucks and buses"
We couldn't agree more 👏And the good news is fossil-free 🚚🚛 & 🚌 are already available, powered by 100% Biodiesel #B100#HVO100

L’agriculture apporte des réponses aux enjeux de souveraineté alimentaire et énergétique. Nous avons la chance d’être un grand pays agricole, d’avoir une filière des huiles et protéines qui développe des leviers pour créer de la valeur et des solutions. https://t.co/vrn0NiYHlv

Why does #REDIII need to do better on #biofuels?
Reason 2: Biofuels contribute to EU #FoodSecurity. Their production creates food, #feed, & fuel, strengthening Europe’s strategic autonomy by offsetting the need to import animal feed

Why does #REDIII need to do better on #biofuels?
Reason 1: Biofuels are strategically important for EU energy independence. They are already making the biggest impact in displacing imported fossil fuel for #RoadTransport#EUBiofuelsChain
