The Government of the Canary Islands' Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has launched a subsidy for producers of forage crops for animal nutrition, totaling 225,000 euros. The subsidy, part of the Community Program for the Support of Agricultural Productions of the Canary Islands (POSEI), will be distributed to producers of crops such as wheat, barley, and alfalfa, among others. Producers in areas identified in the Geographical Information System (Sigpac) are eligible for the subsidy, which aims to increase self-sufficiency and reduce importation of forage. The subsidy will be up to 300 euros per hectare, with a 10% bonus for young farmers.
