Wine grape producers: conditions and exclusions for agricultural insurance coverage

Order APA/878/2026 establishes the technical conditions, insurable assets, and yields for wine grape insurance in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands under the 47th Combined Agricultural Insurance Plan (Art. 1). The regulation defines the covered varieties and saplings, as well as insurable facilities (Art. 2.1). It also specifies the minimum plantation ages required for production to be considered insurable (Art. 2.2).

In 3 key points

  1. Minimum age for insuring dryland plantations: 4 years (with beard) or 3 years (grafted plant), Art. 2.2.a.1 (art. 2.2.a.1)
  2. Minimum age for insuring irrigated plantations: 3 years (with beard) or 2 years (grafted plant), Art. 2.2.a.2 (art. 2.2.a.2)
  3. Geographical scope: Mainland Spain and the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands, Art. 1 (art. 1)

How it affects those involved

For viticulturists in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, coverage is conditional upon registration in the viticultural register or a request for regularisation (Art. 1). Producers with young plantations must adhere to minimum age thresholds (between 2 and 4 years depending on the type of cultivation and grafting) to avoid exclusion from coverage (Art. 2.2). Plots in a state of abandonment, those intended for experimentation, and family orchards for self-consumption are explicitly excluded (Art. 2.2).
