The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has published a new resolution granting aid to 2458 holders of agricultural holdings of dry farmland, rice and tomato industry, for a total amount of 7 million euros, to compensate for the difficulties due to drought and war in Ukraine. The aid will be paid into farmers’ bank accounts during the first half of May.
In the Community of Madrid, around thirty farmers will receive this aid in the amount of 197,686 euros.
With this new payment, the amount of this State aid paid by the Government already amounts to 258.9 million euros, from which 133,946 farmers have benefited, which represents 96% of the total budget of this line. In the Community of Madrid, it amounts to 3,719,097 euros, with 1187 beneficiaries.
This aid was approved by the Government through Royal Decree-Law 4/2023, of 11 May, which adopted urgent measures in agricultural and water matters in response to the drought and the aggravation of the conditions of the primary sector resulting from the war in Ukraine and the weather conditions.
The list of holders of agricultural holdings who will receive this aid, together with the number of eligible hectares and the amount of the aid to be received, can be consulted on the bulletin board of the EAGGF electronic headquarters.
The holders included in this concession resolution are those who were already included in the one published on March 20, but who were denied payment because they were not aware of their tax obligations and with Social Security, and who were granted a period of one month to regularize their situation.
The published resolution also includes those holders who have been denied payment because they have been detected that they are not aware of their tax obligations or with Social Security.
This resolution does not include the headlines that presented some type of allegation that, due to its complexity, have been sent to the corresponding autonomous communities for analysis and study. They will then be resolved and, if necessary, the payment of the aid.
