The Canary Islands agricultural sector is experiencing both administrative shifts in subsidy distribution and commercial growth in specific industries. In late September 2026, the regional government announced an acceleration of POSEI agricultural payments, aiming to distribute approximately 70% of the 2025 campaign funds in October. This move is intended to support over 7,800 local producers, with the regional executive working to recover more than 33 million euros in claims from the Spanish State. By early October 2026, reports indicated significant growth within the banana sector, with Grupo Europlátano noting a 23.4% increase in sales during the first half of the year. Amidst this growth, the producer organization ASPROCAN has begun advocating for increased European Union funding through the POSEI program. ~~The organization is calling on~~ On October 14, 2026, regional officials intensified these calls, demanding that the ~~Spanish government to seek higher funding levels during~~ POSEI be established as an “autonomous instrument with its own stable and reinforced financial allocation” within the EU’s 2028-2034 EU Multiannual Financial ~~Framework negotiations~~ Framework.
