CAP meets on Monday to decide next actions on support and the future of the CAP

The Confederation of Farmers of Portugal (CAP) will meet on November 16 to assess support measures for the agricultural sector and decide on future actions. Key topics include compensation for rising production costs and the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). CAP Secretary-General Luís Mira emphasized the need for better competitiveness conditions for Portuguese farmers. The meeting will involve discussions with represented organizations to outline actions based on their feedback. CAP previously requested an additional €140 million in support, citing competitive disadvantages compared to Spanish farmers. The government recently approved a €40 million support package to address rising fertilizer and energy costs, with applications open until November 27.
