During a meeting of EU Agriculture Ministers, France expressed concern over the European Commission's proposed budget for the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) covering 2028 to 2034. The European Commission has proposed a reform of the CAP in the next budget cycle. It includes a commitment to provide French farmers with a "minimum" of €51 billion (US$54.9 billion) in income support over seven years. In the current CAP framework, France receives about €9.3 billion (US$10 billion) annually, totaling €65 billion (US$69.9 billion) from 2021 to 2027. The discussions highlight ongoing tensions between EU budget proposals and national expectations over agricultural funding.
