The Government of the Canary Islands has made public the Resolution of definitive granting of the aids of the Strategic Plan of the Common Agricultural Policy (PEPAC), aimed at financing modernization and improvement investments in 55 livestock farms, 19 more than in the previous call, with a total budget of 1.94 million euros.
According to the details provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Sovereignty, this line of support allows covering between 40% and 70% of the eligible expenses foreseen by the applicants.
In this regard, the general director of Livestock, Andrés Díaz Matoso, indicated that through this measure the regional Executive promotes the implementation of more advanced and technified facilities, favoring a more efficient, competitive livestock sector and, consequently, more sustainable and profitable.
Among the actions that can receive funding are the construction and renovation of buildings, the purchase of machinery and other equipment, waste and by-product management, as well as investments in digitalization, energy efficiency, and renewable energies. The installation of security and control systems and equipment is also contemplated, in addition to improvements in food storage infrastructures for livestock.
The Ministry has pointed out that this call is co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fishing and Food Sovereignty itself, and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food, and is structured in two annual budgets: 1,148,838.71 euros for 2026 and 791,205.37 euros for 2027.
To justify the subsidies, the beneficiaries must present a performance report detailing the executed activities and their cost, along with a list of other income or aids that have contributed to financing said actions.
Regarding the deadlines, for the first annual budget, the beneficiaries have time to execute the investments until October 30, 2026, and to justify until October 31, 2026. For the second annual budget, the execution period ends on May 30, 2027, and the justification period ends on May 31, 2027.
Finally, the entities and individuals listed in Annex 5 must present a second acceptance, as the approved investments have been modified after the Provisional Resolution.
