The European Commission approved State aid to the Portuguese agricultural sector worth 30 million euros. This decision was made under the Temporary Framework for State Aid relating to the Middle East crisis.
The approved scheme aims to directly support Portugal's agricultural sector. The measure comes in response to the difficulties faced by farmers due to the increase in production costs.
The Middle East crisis was the factor that triggered this approval. This conflict caused a significant increase in fuel and fertilizer prices, directly affecting the competitiveness and economic sustainability of the Portuguese agricultural sector.
