The Spanish Government has allocated 159.3 million euros in state aid to support the dairy sector. The aid is aimed at ensuring the profitability of farms, which are facing challenges due to increased energy and raw material costs. The aid includes direct aid for cattle, goat and sheep milk producers, fuel price reduction, net yield reduction, and subsidized loans and aid from the State Limited Agricultural Surety Company (Saeca). The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, also emphasized the role of the Dairy Interprofessional Organization (Inlac) in defending the common interests of the value chain and complying with food chain laws. He also highlighted the dairy sector's contribution to Spain's gastronomy and its future increased support under the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
