AgriFood Working Paper 2024:1
Can a tax on antimicrobials in the EU reduce its global use?
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects on production and
economic performance in the livestock sector, as well as on producer prices, under
different assumptions on the size of the tax, its geographical coverage, and the possible
response of the intensity of antimicrobial use in agriculture. We do this by simulating
different scenarios using the agricultural sector model CAPRI and data on present use of
antimicrobials in the EU and other parts of the world.
