Azores Agricultural Federation wants agricultural diesel support announced by the Republic to also include the archipelago

SAPO Notícias10 September 2026 at 13:32

The Azores Agricultural Federation (FAA) expressed the intention that the 10 cent per liter support for agricultural diesel, recently announced by the Republic's Government, also be applied to Azorean farmers. This support is expected to be in effect until the end of 2026.

The FAA aims to ensure that past mistakes are not repeated, when farmers of the Autonomous Region of the Azores were left out of similar agricultural support measures.

The regional government and Azorean farmers have been advocating that support measures announced by the central government should also include the archipelago, in order to ensure equitable conditions for the regional agricultural sector.

The issue of including the Azores in agricultural diesel support policies is a recurring concern for regional agricultural entities, which warn of the need for equal treatment relative to the mainland.

Goodbye walks: a funicular will be inaugurated on this date that will give you a 'lift' to this beach without having to walk kilometers on foot

The Pederneira Funicular, in Nazaré, should open in January 2027, creating a public transport connection between the upper area and the beach. With about 200 meters in length and an investment of 10 million euros fully funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan, the equipment will have the capacity to transport up to 300 people per hour in each direction, with capacity for 40 passengers per trip. The works are practically completed, but tests and certifications need to be completed by the end of the year. The project includes accessibility for people with reduced mobility and bicycle transport, aiming to reduce automobile dependence and greenhouse gas emissions. The four-story building will have glass openings and lighting that will evoke the image of a lighthouse at night.
