Abstract

This article examines the risks associated with the introduction of a carbon tax on domestic agricultural products. The professional community is increasingly raising issues of regulating the generation of greenhouse gases in various sectors of the national economy through the introduction of the so-called carbon tax, which implies the collection of additional fees in proportion to the amount of greenhouse gases produced per unit of production. If this measure of state regulation is applied, a change in the cost of meat due to an additional tax burden will lead to a significant decrease in its consumption.
