Federal Minister of Agriculture Cem Özdemir (Greens) expects food prices to continue to rise in Germany. One reason for rising food prices is higher energy costs, which would affect the food industry. In addition, the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine is playing a role in the expected price increases in the food sector. Özdemir's proposal in the fight against rising prices is to eliminate seven percent VAT on fruit, vegetables and legumes
