Question 12350 — employment and activity

Summary

Mr. Francis Vercamer draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the consequences of the removal of the exemption from social charges for the employment of casual workers in the agricultural sector. Since the 2015 finance law, employers covered by the social protection scheme for agricultural professions have been exempt from employer contributions due for social insurance for workers. casual workers they employ. However, this measure could be removed from January 1, 2019. This would constitute a brake on the competitiveness of French agricultural sectors, compared to competition from neighboring countries with lower labor costs. The sectors affected will be viticulture, market gardening and even arboriculture. Today, the French agricultural sector is experiencing recruitment difficulties. THE Jobs are perceived as difficult and schedules are restrictive. To this will be added a drop in salaries, a direct consequence of the removal of this exemption. After a summer of 2018 which experienced a rainfall deficit, high temperatures and dry soils, the removal of this exemption would be seen as an additional constraint for farmers who employ seasonal workers. The threat of relocation of production is very real. He then asks what measures the Government intends to put in place to stem the worsening of this situation.
