Irish farmers are 'indirectly paying' an additional €60m in carbon taxes through higher agricultural contractor charges, the Association of Farm Contractors in Ireland (FCI) has said.
And a carbon tax increase due on May 1 is expected to add around €7m to the cost of agricultural diesel for the agricultural contracting sector, the association said.
