10-cent support for agricultural diesel extended until end of year

Jornal Nordeste15 September 2026 at 09:00

The 10-cent per liter support for agricultural diesel has been extended until the end of the year. The decision was approved at a council of ministers meeting on the 9th in Bragança. This measure aims to support the agricultural sector by maintaining the subsidy that was previously implemented.

The extension of support comes in a context of high costs for farmers, who face significant financial pressures from rising fuel prices. The decision made in Bragança demonstrates the government's attention to the needs of the primary sector in the region and the country.

Why this matters

This extension of support for agricultural diesel directly affects Portuguese farmers, who face high production costs. The decision, made by the council of ministers in Bragança, demonstrates the continuity of the government's commitment to the primary sector, following other agricultural support measures already implemented.
