Order No. 13489/2026, published in the Diário da República, covers a wide range of municipalities and parishes within the CCDR Alentejo, I.P. region that suffered significant losses in agricultural activity. The affected municipalities include Alter do Chão, Arronches, Campo Maior, Castelo de Vide, Elvas, Fronteira, Ponte de Sor, and Sousel (Alto Alentejo); Alandroal, Arraiolos, Borba, Estremoz, Évora, Montemor-o-Novo, Mora, Mourão, Portel, Redondo, and Vila Viçosa (Alentejo Central); Aljustrel, Almodôvar, Alvito, Beja, Castro Verde, Ferreira do Alentejo, Mértola, Moura, Ourique, Serpa, and Vidigueira (Baixo Alentejo); and Alcácer do Sal, Grândola, Odemira, Santiago do Cacém, and Sines (Alentejo Litoral).
The recognition as a natural disaster activates support for restoring productive potential, covering investments in the recovery of damaged crops, infrastructure, and equipment. The total available amount is 10 million euros in non-reimbursable grants. Eligible holdings can receive up to 100% of eligible expenses for the first 10,000 euros of investment, with additional support levels for higher amounts.
Farmers whose holdings have suffered damage exceeding 30% of their productive potential can apply, with expenses incurred since May 1, 2026, also being eligible. Applications are processed through the Management Authority of PEPAC on the Continent, upon submission of the respective damage declaration.
This measure aims to contribute to the recovery of Alentejo's agricultural holdings, promoting a return to productive activity and strengthening the resilience of the regional agricultural sector. More information is available at PEPAC Continente.
