EU Ag Commissioner pushes €400bn CAP budget for next framework

EU Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen announced at the Ploughing event that he will advocate for €400 billion in Common Agricultural Policy funding for the next EU budget period. This signals an early positioning ahead of the 2027-2033 Multiannual Financial Framework negotiations, with implications for EU farm policy and member state budget contributions. The figure is a proposal, not a settled agreement, and will face competition from other spending priorities.
