As explained José Martínez Quiñonero, President of ASAJA Águilas, "it is essential that agricultural taxation be established, especially in the system of modules, which is not burdensome for our farmers, but is moderate and is not a" burden "for the economy of the professionals of the regional primary sector ".
In addition, the head of ASAJA Águilas has also underlined that "in 1998, the module system stood at 0.37, whereas in the past 2017 it stood at 0.26, but it is unacceptable, since with the Current production costs is still totally unacceptable, so we demand a reduction of the module system that is 0.10 for the tomato of the Region of Murcia ".
