“Farmers may share 730 million in crisis aid”
“Soon opens the possibility to apply for assistance to alleviate the consequences of last summer’s drought. 730 million is to be allocated to Swedish agriculture by means of a combined area – and djurbaserat support. 15 april is the first date.”
“Last year’s drought led to the smallest Swedish grain harvest since 1959, the widespread feed shortages and nödslaktning. According to the Swedish board of agriculture so-called sektorkalkyl dried 75% of the net income away for the farmers during the prolonged heat in the summer.”
“an Additional sek 30 million will be set aside for development projects targeted at the horticultural sector to promote opportunities for a heightened preparedness for extreme weather events in the future.”
