Spain Distributes 69.2 Million Euros in Farm Funds to the Regions, Led by Fertiliser Aid
Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food finalised the distribution of 69.2 million euros in farm funds to the autonomous communities at the Sectoral Conference on Agriculture and Rural Development on October 21.
Of the total, 50,174,300 euros come from the EU agricultural reserve to offset fertiliser and energy costs driven up by the Middle East crisis; regions may add their own funds of up to 200 percent of their allocation, and the reserve money must be paid out by February 28, 2027. A further 19.1 million euros go to animal health, including bovine tuberculosis control, responses to avian influenza and lumpy skin disease, and bluetongue vaccine purchases.
Agriculture Minister Luis Planas chaired the conference, which also discussed the EU's Common Agricultural Policy framework for 2028-2032; Planas said the EU Agriculture Council could reach a political agreement on it the following week.
