藍白主導的立法院通過老農津貼提高到1.5萬元,農業部估每年支出將比政院版1萬元增加320億元支出,前農業部長陳吉仲指出,老農津貼若提高到1.5萬元將擴大世代和職業間的不公平,青壯年農民將更沒保障,還會不利擴大農業經營規模,也會重創農業預算和施政彈性。
老農津貼是我國對農民的福利保障之一,目前領有老農津貼的人數則有53萬人,政院今年1月提出老農津貼從現行的8110元提高到1萬元,但立法院遲未通過,並將老農津貼直接調高到1.5萬元,並放寬排富標準,本身是農業經濟領域權威的陳吉仲指出,遽然將老農津貼調高到1.5萬元,看似有利農民,但實際上將導致「不利擴大農業經營規模」、「重創農業預算及施政彈性」、「擴大世代與職業不公」3大問題。
陳吉仲進一步指出,老農津貼和農保資格連動外,每4年也會依照物價指數調整,未來還會從1.5萬元逐次提高,因農保資格為必須持有至少1分農地,高額津貼會導致實際已無從農者將會持續透過持有1分農地保留農保資格,將不利農地整合與擴大經營規模,再者老農津貼提高後,每年農業部的法律義務支出中,老農津貼的支出將會超過預算經費總額一半,將會排擠其他福利措施,也會壓縮其他農業施政空間。
陳吉仲進一步指出,若只照顧老農,將會影響改善青壯年農民農民保障機會,目前青壯農已面臨高生產成本、農地取得困難、氣候風險,更需要政府支持,老農津貼大幅提高將對現行我國農業生產更不利,而現行已經透過農退儲金、老農津貼雙軌並行保障農民退休福利。
陳吉仲強調,絕對支持增加農業預算和投資,但前提是必須用在真正有助於農業永續發展,每年多增加的320億元若可以用來鼓勵每個月老農將農地出租提供2千元補助,再結合原有的老農津貼和農退儲金,農民實領將會超過1.5萬元,另還有全面擴大農地綠色環境給付,以及建立農業受災退休保障基金、投入農業保險保費補助、灌溉設施、冷鏈物流等,才可實質提升農業競爭力和韌性。
