AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoCAP Reform: EU governments have agreed a post-2027 farm-policy framework that scraps the two-pillar structure and gives countries more spending flexibility, but leaves the €300 billion funding question unresolved. Farmers warn the plan offers too little certainty, while farm groups are pressing for stronger support and installation aid for young farmers. Farm Costs and Crops: Britain’s Budget cuts tariffs on fertilizer, but struggling farmers say it does not ease wider financial pressure; the UK barley crop is forecast to be the smallest since 2011, and European potato yields are falling. Trade and Supply: EU poultry and egg imports rose 14% in January–July, while pork exports fell 13%; beef and veal imports climbed 16%. Moldova is proposing to extend licensing for wheat, corn and sunflower-seed imports through year-end to protect domestic producers. Animal Health: Bulgaria has reported sheep and goat pox affecting 134 sheep, while the UK and Denmark recorded their first farm avian-flu outbreaks of the season.
