Landwirtschaftszoll

Landwirtschaftszoll, or agricultural customs duties, are taxes imposed on agricultural products as they are imported or exported across borders. These duties help protect domestic farmers by making imported agricultural goods more expensive, encouraging local consumption of local produce. They also generate revenue for the government. The rates can vary depending on the type of product and trade agreements. Essentially, Landwirtschaftszoll influences the cost and competitiveness of agricultural goods in international trade, supporting a country's agricultural sector while regulating imports and exports.
