Government approves 40 million euros in support for farmers in light of fertilizer and energy costs

The government has approved an extraordinary support package of 40 million euros for farmers to offset rising fertilizer and energy costs due to the Middle East crisis. This decision, made by the Council of Ministers, combines national financial aid with funds from the Agricultural Crisis Reserve and the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan. Farmers can apply for these funds through the Institute for Financing Agriculture and Fisheries. The total public response now amounts to 60 million euros, including previous allocations from the state budget.
