Spain’s Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food announced on 21 October a total allocation of €69.2 million in agricultural funds among the autonomous communities. Of this amount, €50,174,300 comes from the EU agricultural crisis reserve allocated to Spain and is intended to support farmers and livestock producers affected by higher fertiliser and energy costs.

Regional authorities can use the funds to supplement existing measures or design additional support around local needs. The ministry said another €19.1 million was allocated to animal-disease control and eradication programmes. Payments from the agricultural reserve are due by 28 February 2027, while complementary regional funding may be paid through 31 May 2027.
