Drought and heatwave 2026: aid and difficulties for French agriculture

Late October 2026, faced with drought, INRAE tests alternative forages at Marcenat, while Gard raises its agricultural emergency fund to 2 million euros and Gers, with 55% losses in major crops, obtains a property tax rebate. Early November, Gers receives an additional 1.4 million euros under the CASI plan, Lot fears for Quercy truffle cultivation and farmers encounter difficulties applying for aid. Espelette pepper producers obtain partial irrigation, the minimum fry size is lowered, and the Christmas tree, cider apple, and Gimond dam sectors are concerned. On November 6, the harvests turn out higher than forecasts, Corsica sees CASI aid doubled to 2.6 million euros, and sugar beets in Aisne, Marne, and Ardennes show very low yields. On November 7, in Brittany, livestock farmers must manage the lack of forage for winter.
