France to support farmers impacted by climate
France plans to compensate farmers affected by the heatwaves and drought that hit the country this summer through a support package worth hundreds of millions of euros. Details will be announced after a meeting with representatives of regional governments. The aid will cover losses of 34% in maize crops, 30% in forage corn, and up to 50% in vegetable crops that were damaged. Additionally, the government will provide tax exemptions and support for obtaining fodders, seeds, and seedlings, with the aim of protecting and sustaining agricultural production, especially as water restrictions are imposed in 70% of French areas due to ongoing heatwaves and drought.
