The Council of Ministers has announced a plan with which it intends to mitigate the effects of a drought that has the reservoirs at their worst level in years.

Specifically, according to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food,

Luis Planas

, they are around 40.5% of their capacity.

The Guadalquivir and Guadiana basins, especially affected by the lack of rain, are at 28.4% and 30.4%, respectively;

the lowest percentage

since 1994

.

Thus, a series of "urgent measures to support the agricultural sector due to the drought" are taken, which will be divided into five blocks.

"The object is to contribute to recovering the profitability of agricultural and livestock farms," ​​Planas pointed out.

In the first place, there will be a package of tools of a social nature, such as the reduction in the number of laborers for the purpose of receiving the agricultural subsidy in the Autonomous Communities of Andalusia and Extremadura, which will go from 35 to 20. This "vehement" request of the The agrarian world joins the postponement of Social Security contributions and the possibility that discontinuous permanent workers can receive the agrarian subsidy later.

The second block of a package whose impact, the Government estimates, will be 450 million euros, corresponds to fiscal measures.

There will be a reduction of 20% of the net yield in the singular objective estimation of the agrarian and livestock regime (the so-called module system) and there will be an exemption from rustic VAT on those farms that have suffered a decrease of more than 30% in the agricultural or livestock yields.

The "also highly demanded" liquidity measures will consist of the creation of an ICO line with 10 million euros that, the minister estimates, "can mobilize up to a total of 100 million euros in the sector."

SAECA will also finance guarantees with 2.7 million euros and an additional 11 million will be allocated to the 44th combined agricultural insurance plan, which "will undoubtedly strengthen its coverage capacity," argued Planas.
