2026 drought: harvests affected and agricultural aid in France

At the end of October 2026, drought and summer heatwaves lead to smaller chrysanthemums, high prices for salads and carrots, and fodder difficulties for livestock farmers, particularly in the Pilat. Corn harvests in the Southwest, Tarbais beans and squash near Nantes drop sharply, while Franche-Comté faces a fodder crisis and Inrae tests alternative fodders in the Cantal. Faced with these losses, the Collectivité européenne d'Alsace releases 1 million euros, the Gard raises its emergency fund to 2 million euros, and the Gers obtains property tax relief followed by an additional 1.4 million euros. The chrysanthemum tradition for All Saints' Day is nevertheless still observed.
