Spain’s Council of Ministers approved a €9 million direct-aid scheme on 20 October for insured agricultural and livestock businesses affected by 2026 wildfires. The ministry said fires had affected more than 270,000 hectares, including about 60,000 hectares of agricultural land.
Eligible insurance-premium support can reach 70%, and the scheme also provides aid for certain insured production losses not covered by compensation. The ministry set different maximum amounts for vineyards, olive groves, citrus, fruit trees, cattle and beekeeping.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
