Commission Approves €30 Million Portuguese State Support for Agricultural, Fishing and Aquaculture Companies Amid Rising Fuel and Fertilizer Prices

Notícias Portugal8 September 2026 at 10:14

The European Commission approved a €30 million state aid program aimed at companies in the agricultural, fishing and aquaculture sectors that are facing difficulties due to rising fuel and fertilizer prices. The Middle East crisis has been causing disruptions in supply chains and significantly increasing the operational costs of these sectors.

The financial support aims to mitigate the financial difficulties that companies are facing due to the volatility of essential raw material prices. Affected producers will be able to continue their activities, contributing to food security in the European Union.

Farmers and fishermen will be able to access these funds more quickly, with the aim of stabilizing operations and securing jobs in the region. The capital injection represents a critical moment for the European rural economy.

Details on how companies can apply for the aid are still being finalized, but Commission representatives emphasize the importance of this assistance for the most vulnerable sectors.

ANDOVI calls for extension of wine support to regions such as the Tejo

The National Association of Wine Denominations of Origin (ANDOVI) considered the support announced by the Government for Douro winegrowers to be positive, but argues that the measure should be extended to the remaining wine-producing regions of the country, including the Tejo, which also faces difficulties in the marketing of production and in the valorization of grapes. In a statement, the association, which represents the 14 wine-producing regions of mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores, warned that the problems experienced in the sector are not limited to the Douro, emphasizing that all regions face similar difficulties in terms of marketing and declining grape prices. ANDOVI hopes that the announced support will constitute only the beginning of a more comprehensive response.
