Florin Barbu, the Minister of Agriculture, criticized Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare for the current VAT rate on food, suggesting it should be reduced from 11% to 9%. He emphasized the need for a thorough analysis by the Finance Ministry regarding food taxes to boost consumption and address the declining purchasing power in Romania. Barbu pointed out that retail prices include significant markups and questioned the economic rationale behind companies reporting losses despite high profit margins.

Barbu claimed to have provided Nazare with numerous measures to consider.
