The Spanish government has initiated the distribution of subsidies to farmers to mitigate rising fertilizer costs. This effort is part of a 700 million euro Integral Response Plan to the Middle East Crisis.

Initial nationwide disbursements involved approximately 249,376 farmers receiving a total of 494.57 million euros. In Extremadura, over 18,000 farmers were allocated 33.16 million euros, primarily in the province of Badajoz. The Unión de Pequeños Agricultores y Ganaderos (UPA) criticized the aid as “all things considered insufficient” to cover actual cost increases and called for more support from autonomous communities and European-level measures.

Subsequent distributions included 23 million euros for roughly 31,000 farmers in Jaén, providing specific rates per hectare for irrigated and non-irrigated land. Additionally, in Cuenca, the Government of Castilla-La Mancha released over 2 million euros in Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments, which included basic income support, redistributive payments for small and medium farms, and aid for young producers.
