Storm Aid: Macron Promises €80M for French Farmers After Devastating November Storms
Heavy storms and floods in November have devastated farms across Brittany, Normandy, and Upper France. In England, a thunderstorm warning has been issued due to Storm Debi. French authorities have announced aid for affected farmers.
Hurricanes and floods, including Storm 'Kieran' and 'Dominique', have caused widespread destruction. Greenhouses were destroyed, buildings flooded, and crops ruined. Around 100 farms in northern France were affected, with flooded lands and destroyed sugar beet crops.
President Emmanuel Macron promised 'exceptional support' for farmers. Following this, French Minister of Agriculture Marc Fesneau announced a €80 million fund to aid affected farming businesses. However, specific details on aid for the affected regions are yet to be released.
The French government has acknowledged the severe impact of the storms on farmers. With €80 million allocated for aid, affected farming businesses can expect some relief. Further details on the distribution of these funds are awaited.
