The Ministry of Water, Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries finalizes the payment of the multiannual aid of 5,376,744 euros granted in 2015 to a total of 1,201 farmers in the Region, to replace 896,000 rain-fed almonds.
The objective of this aid is to recover the productive potential of 4,390 hectares of almonds affected by the drought during the hydrological year of 2014, which endangered the survival of this crop in the dry land of the Region.
This aid line is part of the Rural Development Program (PDR), financed by the Feader fund (63 percent), the Autonomous Community (25.9 percent) and the Ministry (11.1 percent).
During 2015 the Ministry paid 707,832 euros to 276 farmers, in 2016 448 aid files were managed for 1,480,000 euros, and in 2017 the paid files were 243, for a total amount of 959,832 euros.
In 2018, 204 payment files were processed for a value of 1,200,000 euros, of which 30 percent has already been paid.
The aid is based on a fixed amount per tree replaced, for the acquisition of an official nursery graft plant, preparatory and planting work.
The plots subject to replanting should be rainfed, with almonds affected by drought, which was verified by the staff of the Ministry.
The farmer undertakes to maintain the farm at an appropriate level of cultivation, for five years, under the original plantation framework.
The general director of Agrarian Funds and Rural Development, Carmen María Sandoval, today visited an agricultural farm hosted by this aid to recover the productive potential of almonds, located between the municipalities of Murcia and Mula, with an affected area of ​​125 hectares, which was granted 25,498 almond trees.
The aid to this exploitation amounts to 152,988 euros for the annuities of 2017 and 2018.
