MEPs have approved support measures to assist EU farmers affected by rising fertiliser prices. The changes to the EU common agricultural policy will provide farmers with aid to cover up to 80% of additional fertiliser costs. This decision aims to prevent a decrease in production, maintain food quality, and stabilize consumer prices. The text now awaits formal adoption by the Council before becoming enforceable. Fertiliser prices, highly impacted by recent geopolitical events, are crucial for food production, as they account for a significant portion of farmers' input costs in the EU.
