Municipality supports 53 farmers with wild boar damage

A Voz de Trás-os-Montes9 September 2026 at 11:17

The municipality of Mondim de Basto assigned 9,502 euros in financial support to 53 farmers in the municipality, with the aim of mitigating the damage caused by wild boar on agricultural holdings.

The damage caused by wild boar has mainly affected corn, bean crops and pastures, compromising farmers' income and worsening the difficulties of a sector already marked by rising production costs.

With these supports, the municipality aims to mitigate the immediate financial impact of the losses suffered by farmers and reaffirm its commitment to defending and enhancing agriculture, considered a fundamental sector for the economic and social development of the municipality.

Not the custard tart, nor the sponge cake: it was this traditional Portuguese sweet that 'conquered' the Asians and sells more than 30 thousand units per day

The article tells the story of how the Portuguese pastel de nata inspired Andrew Stow, a British pharmacist, to create his own version in Macau in 1989, at Lord Stow's Bakery. The Macanese variant combines Portuguese puff pastry with a filling inspired by British egg custard, resulting in a less sweet pastry without cinnamon. The success was such that the brand expanded to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan, currently selling between 30 to 32 thousand pastries per day only in the four stores in Macau. The original Portuguese name, "pôu tát", maintained the connection to the Portuguese recipe and distinguishes the Macau version from Hong Kong egg tarts.

Portugal's financing costs soar to highs at 1.6 billion euro debt auction

Portugal saw public financing costs soar to highs in recent debt auctions, with the Treasury and Public Debt Management Agency (IGCP) placing €1.628 billion through three Treasury Bond issuances, registering a generalized rise in interest rates across all maturities — at nine years yields rose to 3.632%, at eight years to 3.559% and at four years to 3.122%. The trend reflects a volatile global scenario driven by the Middle East conflict, prospects of further interest rate hikes by the ECB and the impact of the war in Ukraine on fuel and grain prices, with Portuguese debt yields reaching their highest value since April 2017. Analysts consider that fiscal risks, persistent inflation and growing financing needs will continue to pressure risk premiums, although Eurozone peripheral spreads should remain stabilized, in contrast to the vulnerability shown by France.
