Drought in France: drop in agricultural production and CASI aid plan

In early November 2026, the summer drought causes beet production in Alsace to fall and raises fears of a sugar shortage in France, with a 30% drop in production. Christmas tree producers first seek to reassure, before some report losses and a price increase is mentioned. Emergency funds are mobilized for Doubs livestock farmers and Corsican farmers, while grass growth reaches a low and Oxfam links the climate crisis to rising food prices. Organic producers denounce their exclusion from the CASI plan, which the Ministry of Agriculture ultimately presents as aid of over one billion euros.
