The Romanian Minister of Agriculture, Florin Barbu, announced that the compensation calculations for drought-affected farmers were incorrect due to a double application of the calamity percentage. The ministry will amend the relevant regulations to ensure accurate payments. Barbu has convened the leadership of the Agency for Payments and Intervention in Agriculture (APIA) to address the issue swiftly. Meanwhile, APIA has started disbursing advance payments for the 2026 campaign and is managing support schemes for farmers affected by the 2025 drought. The government's proposed plan includes measures for drought insurance and investments in irrigation.
