Sicily agri‑food infrastructure upgrades

Entities: Fishing fleet · Luca Sammartino · 36 fishing enterprises · Sicily (Regional Government)

Overview

In July 2026 the Sicilian regional authorities began pressing for major upgrades to the island’s agri‑food infrastructure. By the end of the month the government announced a €3 million funding programme to modernise the local fishing fleet. The scheme, under the “111302‑Flotta” call, will provide grants covering up to 75 % of eligible costs, with a maximum of €200,000 per recipient, and will support 36 fishing enterprises. The investment aims to improve vessel safety, introduce advanced hardware and software, and enhance working conditions, thereby boosting the competitiveness and sustainability of Sicilian fisheries and the broader agri‑food sector.
