After drought: France plans billion-euro aid for agriculture
According to the most important French farmers' association, the production losses this summer are likely to exceed ten billion euros. Now, politicians want to intervene.
France has announced over €1 billion in aid for farmers after record heat hit much of Europe. The package includes €520 million in immediate payments to offset weather damage, as well as a local reconstruction fund to help farms buy seeds and animal feed. Additional measures include property tax relief, social contribution assistance, and fuel subsidies. The aid aims to mitigate severe crop losses, damaged pastures, and irrigation systems caused by heat and drought.
