Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed measures aimed at supporting agriculture in the 2027 budget, including assistance for farms affected by drought. This announcement comes as the sector faces challenges related to climate change.

Among the new measures, Lecornu mentioned a tax over-depreciation mechanism and initiatives to encourage water investment. These efforts aim to adapt agriculture to new climatic conditions and maintain the competitiveness of French agricultural sectors.

However, the adoption of these measures remains uncertain due to the lack of a majority in the National Assembly, making their implementation potentially complex.
