The starting point for a strategic turn from benefit to growth policy in terms of supporting farmers and livestock production will, according to government planning, be the crisis in the crisis. OPECEPE.
According to newsit.gr, government officials say that the government’s goal is generally stopped to identify the Ministry of Rural Development with OPECEPE and in general with subsidies to farmers.
Of course, although under the new regime that will lead to the changes to OPEKEPE (both in relation to its integration into the AADE and interventions inside), they will continue with the first KRA test of 2025.
However, it is certain, as subsidy applications are already less than in the past, that the total amount of funds will be lower.
In addition, the new Community budget of 2028 -2034 (from where European subsidies to farmers are derived) will provide -as shown by the plan presented by the Commission in July and its likely revisions -lower funds.
So the aim of the EU, as well as the government in Greece, is to enhance development financial tools and not farmers’ benefits.
