Spanish farmers, breeders and beekeepers will receive €2 billion in aid to try to compensate for the damage caused by the drought. The drought has already caused the loss of 5 million hectares of cereals in Spain.
This is likely to have a significant impact on food prices, while food inflation is already at 15%. Finally, €1.4 billion will be used to finance the construction of new infrastructure to address water scarcity. It talks about seawater desalination plants or systems to promote the reuse of wastewater.
