Spanish regional agricultural support initiatives

Overview

Regional governments in Spain are implementing various financial and strategic measures to support the agricultural and livestock sectors, with a particular emphasis on the potato industry.

In Valencia, the Generalitat has allocated 68.6 million euros for the 2026 budget to modernize the agrifood industry and support cooperatives. This includes specific funding for fruit and vegetable programs and product commercialization. Additionally, the Valencian government has introduced a 9 million euro subsidy program to manage Globodera nematode infestations through mandatory crop rotation plans.

In Tenerife, the Cabildo is providing 150,000 euros to breeder associations to preserve indigenous livestock breeds, such as the Canary Black Pig and Tinerfeña goats. The island is also promoting local white potato consumption through the ‘Haz girar tu mundo’ campaign, part of the Tenerife Island Potato Plan, which seeks to improve competitiveness against imports and mitigate challenges like drought and pests.
