Easier access to recovery aid for struggling farms

Decree No. 2026-673 of 27 July 2026 amends the recovery aid scheme for farms in difficulty (articles D. 354-1 et seq. of the Rural and Maritime Fishing Code). It raises from ten to fifty full-time-equivalent work units the cap on permanent or seasonal salaried labour that an eligible farm must not exceed (article D. 354-3, 3°). It repeals article D. 354-2-1 and point 2° of article D. 354-3-2, and rewrites article D. 354-10, under which aid may be granted despite an amicable settlement, a safeguard procedure or a judicial recovery procedure. An order of 6 August 2026 likewise replaces "ten" with "fifty" in article 2 of the order of 5 August 2022 setting the aid amounts.
