Italian agricultural sector receives PNRR funds and fuel tax credits

Agricultural businesses in Italy are receiving significant financial support through various initiatives. In the Molise region, Agea has authorized payments exceeding 3.2 million euros funded by the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan). These funds are split into two main areas: approximately 1.6 million euros for 18 companies to modernize olive oil mills, and another 1.6 million euros to finance the renewal of 80 pieces of machinery and the implementation of precision agriculture technologies.

Additionally, a national tax credit scheme for fuel has been launched for primary agricultural producers. Between August 6 and September 30, 2026, businesses can apply via an online platform for a tax credit covering up to 20% of the cost of diesel and gasoline purchased for agricultural use between March 1 and May 31, 2026. This credit is subject to a national spending cap of 90 million euros and must be used for tax compensation via the F24 model by the end of 2026.
