Confederation of farmers demands support for all wine regions

The Portuguese Confederation of Farmers (CAP) demands that the 12 million euro support package announced by the Government for Douro wine growers be extended to all producing regions in the country, advocating a structural and national response to the crisis affecting the wine sector. The organization points to common problems such as declining consumption, export contraction, stock accumulation, and rising production costs. CAP also warns about the pressure from bulk Spanish wine entering the Portuguese market, which frequently arrives without adequate inspection, causing tens of millions of euros in annual losses to national producers. The confederation calls for reinforced inspection, traceability, and international promotion of Portuguese wines, considering that the Government's response cannot be limited to ad hoc measures.
