Assobibe: «Sugar tax da abolire, 1 miliardo di investimenti bloccati per il 2027»
Una tassa da abolire. Penalizza la crescita del settore, blocca gli investimenti e non riesce a modificare i trend di obesità, né quelli dei consumi di zucchero, che vengono indicati...
Assobibe, the association of Italian producers of non-alcoholic beverages, is urging the abolition of the sugar tax that was introduced in 2019. President Giangiacomo Pierini claims the tax is penalizing the industry, hindering growth and innovation, and failing to achieve its stated goals of reducing obesity and sugar consumption.
The tax, which Pierini estimates could block up to 1 billion euros worth of investment in machinery, processes, and innovation by 2027, has yet to show any impact on obesity rates or overall sugar consumption, which remain stagnant.
