Government extends 10 cent support on agricultural diesel and reinforces support for fisheries with 13 million euros

Fuel prices are severely affecting agricultural producers, who face financial difficulties due to the rise in agricultural diesel. The prime minister announced on Tuesday that the government will extend the 10 cent per liter support for this fuel. Additionally, a specific aid for the fisheries sector was approved worth 13 million euros. Agricultural producers, however, consider the measures insufficient to face the increase in production costs. Some farmers are still waiting for the payment of support that had been previously promised, which aggravates frustration in the sector.
