alarm call from the nutritional industry! At the tension -charged ministerial conference in Leipzig, the heads of government of the federal states demand nothing less than the return to the top compensation for gas. This applies to the consistently positive echo of the nutritional industry, which hopes for this relief in sweat!

The BVE chairman, Dr. Christian von Boetticher, warns: "The restoration of the top compensation for gas is a crucial lever to secure the competitiveness of the energy -intensive nutritional industry. Our company lacks the urgently needed financial relief that ensures essential domestic jobs!" It sounds like a cry for support in stormy times!

energy prices under pressure! The industry is fighting!

The nutritional industry is not an easy player in the market - it is one of the largest gas consumers in the processing business! The affected companies such as oil mills, starch producers and the cocoa industry are dependent on gas like oxygen to breathe! In order to gain the procedural warmth, gas in dizzying quantities is required. And that's not a little thing either - about 75 percent of the processing of oil seeds depend directly on the natural gas!

But now the industry is a tough blow: the top compensation for gas that was eliminated at the beginning of 2024, which has been a reliable factor for over two decades, the companies burden the electricity tax harder than any reduction in the Federal Government in November 2023! To make matters worse, the transformation process mentioned is made almost impossible due to the high gas prices. "We need planning security!", The industry representatives demand in unison.

a crucial giant of the economy!

to clarify how significant the nutritional industry is for Germany: Around 6,000 companies generate considerable 218 billion euros annually. Over 636,000 people find their jobs in this industry! Marriage word here? Medium -sized business! Over 90 percent of the companies are shaped in small and medium-sized companies. And export flourishes - with a quota of 35 percent, it turns out that the world appreciates German food!

Time is pushing! Industry is waiting for a clear signal from politics! The voices of the associations merge into an urgent appeal: the nutritional industry does not let down!
