Poultry Syndicate Opposes Environmental Fee

The Lebanese Poultry Union issued a statement demanding the cancellation of the "environmental fee" imposed on soybean meal, veterinary medicines, and feed additives. They considered that levying charges on these essential materials for livestock production harms the poultry sector and the agricultural sector in general. The union pointed out that Decree No. 3754, which sets the fee rates based on waste generated from manufacturing, is unfair and unsuitable, especially since these materials do not produce hazardous environmental waste. They stressed that imposing this fee will increase costs on poultry farmers by millions of dollars annually, leading to higher production costs and reduced competitiveness of Lebanese poultry against imported products, which are exempt from import duties. The union urged the government to reconsider the decision to protect domestic production and food security, noting that the sector provides jobs for approximately 36,000 families and meets the Lebanese people's needs for chicken and eggs.
