These grants will be financed from the 276.7 million euro package to support the agricultural sector included in the royal decree-law of measures against drought and to address the consequences of the war in Ukraine, approved by the Council of Ministers on May 4th.

During its session on Tuesday, the Council of Ministers added a provision with this specific measure for farmers in the Jerte Valley and authorized the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food to transfer the 8 million euros to the Autonomous Community of Extremadura.

A ministerial order will determine the amounts per hectare and the eligibility criteria for beneficiaries of this aid, as well as, if applicable, the payment deadline and individual limits.
