Support of 12 million for the Douro will be paid based on the quantity of grapes left unharvested

Jornal de Negócios12 September 2026 at 09:59

An extraordinary support of 12 million euros was approved for winegrowers of the Douro region. This amount will be paid directly by the Institute of Douro and Porto Wines (IVDP). Payment to Douro producers will be calculated based on the quantity of grapes that remain unharvested during the harvest. This measure comes to support farmers in the region given the difficulties faced in the current wine campaign.

Why this matters

The winegrowers of the Douro region will receive a significant financial support calculated based on the unharvested grapes, which can help compensate for losses or difficulties in the current wine campaign. This direct mechanism from IVDP simplifies producers' access to the subsidy, directly affecting the local economy and the sustainability of the Port and Douro wine sector.

Shipments Increase 7% and Account for 48% of Postal Revenues

The Brazilian postal sector recorded 7% growth in parcel traffic in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, now representing 18.5% of the country's total postal traffic. The phenomenon is driven by the expansion of e-commerce, which has led postal and logistics companies to invest in technology, fast deliveries, and improved transport infrastructure. Analysts predict that this trend could consolidate parcels as an even more relevant pillar of postal operations in the coming years.
