Catalonia's agricultural and forestry sector: new urgent support measures and regulatory changes in farm management and subsidies

Law 5/2026 establishes a package of urgent measures to support the agricultural and forestry sector in Catalonia. The law introduces substantial modifications to various consolidated texts to streamline farm management, subsidy processing, and responses to pests or forest fires. Key changes include modifications to regulations on waste management, transport, and the compensation and aid regime for the sector.

In 2 key points

  1. Modification of agricultural and forestry farm management through the amendment of consolidated texts (preámbulo)
  2. New provisions regarding subsidies and aid for the agricultural sector (preámbulo)

How it affects those involved

For farmers and livestock breeders, the regulation aims to streamline administrative and subsidy procedures, although it requires adaptation to new regulatory frameworks regarding waste management and transport. Agricultural and forestry holdings must review their compliance protocols following amendments to the consolidated texts on farm management and animal health. The sector benefits from a reinforced support framework but bears the burden of regulatory updates across various technical areas.
