The Cabildo of Lanzarote opens the period to apply for subsidies to cover the operating expenses of livestock farms in Lanzarote and La Graciosa. The president and councilor of the Primary Sector of the Cabildo, Oswaldo Betancort, highlights that the purpose of the aid is to improve the profitability of these farms, helping farmers to cover certain expenses, such as animal feed, water transport or investment in fuel and electricity, among others.
The subsidies for livestock farmers on both islands, owners of livestock farms of goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, camels, rabbits, and poultry, will have a maximum amount of 400 euros per Livestock Units (LSU). The maximum amount per livestock farm will be 80,000 euros. Likewise, the amount of the subsidy will be 50% of the cost of the activity and the period of execution of the expense from 01/01/2023 to 04/30/2024.
The aid can be requested until October 30, in person at the offices of the Island Agricultural Service, from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., presenting ID, a map of the location of the livestock farm and a livestock card (census) updated in 2023.
