O minister of Agriculture has today advanced in parliament to study the availability of state land, with agricultural viability, to young farmers.
“ We have already asked the Vice-Presidents of the CCDR [Coordination and Regional Development Committees] to see the land the State has so that those with agricultural capacity can be used by young farmers”, said Minister of Agriculture and Mar, José Manuel Fernandes, at a parliamentary hearing, in the context of the assessment of the State Budget for 2027 (OE2027).
The leader of the Ministry of Agriculture acknowledged that, in the context of this process, he will have to deal with what he classified as “implications” and with the inefficiency of the State.
“ That is why I say many times: if the State does not hinder, it is already helping ", it has, without further details about the process.
