Fuel support for farmers begins October 15

A cumulative support of up to 35 cents per liter of GNR for farmers is set to be implemented on October 15, 2026 at 16:23. This support aims to ease the financial burden on farmers caused by rising fuel costs.

Direct aid and reserve mobilization

In addition to the direct aid of 15 cents per liter of non-road diesel (GNR) purchased, farmers will also be able to benefit from the mobilization of strategic reserves. Some distributors will apply a reduction of 20 cents per liter starting November 1, 2026.

Time-limited assistance

In response to the surge in fuel prices, farmers can benefit, until the end of December, from an aid of 15 cents per liter of GNR purchased. This temporary measure is designed to provide immediate relief during a period of high costs.

High number of applications processed

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, more than 167,000 farmers' applications have been paid since the opening of the service window. The window was reopened for the months of April, May, and June for eligible farmers who had not had time to submit their request.

Strategic reserves to lower prices

In parallel, the mobilization of strategic reserves with 10 million barrels of diesel, announced by the Prime Minister, should contribute to lowering agricultural fuel prices. Some distributors have committed to applying a reduction of 20 cents per liter on the GNR provided to farmers from November 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027.

Cumulative support reaches 35 cents

"This decision will allow the affected agricultural operations to directly benefit from the effects of the mobilization of strategic reserves," continues the ministry. In total, the cumulative support can thus reach 35 cents per liter for a farmer.
