19 May 2023 at 12:06 SV demands more money for farmers The farmers receive NOK 4.1 billion in this year’s agricultural settlement. This is not enough, says the deputy head of SV, Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes. – If we proceed in this way, it will take several decades to close the income gap between farmers and other groups in society, he says to news. He believes that the government’s proposal breaks with the government’s platform, where the government agreed with SV to strengthen the economy of farmers and strengthen self-sufficiency in Norway. – We are in a critical time now. If we do not lift the economy of the farmers, and take the land back into use, we are in a bad position as a nation where the food supply in the world is increasingly weakened. The counties say the party will come back over the weekend with how much more money needs to be on the table for them to be satisfied. The demand from the farmers was initially NOK 6.9 billion. Fylkesnes characterizes this as a moderate requirement.
