Regional Government makes 870 thousand euros available to compensate fishing sector operators for fuel price increases

Funchal Notícias14 September 2026 at 21:14

The Regional Government will make 870 thousand euros available to compensate operators in the fishing, aquaculture, and fish processing sectors for the extraordinary increase in fuel costs recorded in 2026.

The support aims to help these companies face the market disruption caused by the situation in the Middle East, which has affected the operational costs of the sector.

The funding will be channeled through the MAR 2030 program, which is the community financial instrument dedicated to the fisheries and maritime sector.

With this measure, the regional executive intends to strengthen the financial capacity of sector companies to cope with the scenario of high fuel prices.

Why this matters

Fishing, aquaculture, and fish processing operators in the region face increased operational costs due to fuel price increases, which may compromise the viability of their businesses. This financial support allows mitigating the direct impact on production costs of these regional economic sectors. The measure comes as a response to disruptions in fuel markets caused by the situation in the Middle East.

In testing phase, BRT and VLT begin accepting cards in Rio de Janeiro; credit has a fee

The Gentileza Terminal, in the Central Region of Rio de Janeiro, began testing the payment of BRT and VLT fares with credit and debit cards directly at the turnstiles. The City Hall regulated the measure this Monday, defining rules for the future expansion of the service. On debit, the passenger pays the normal fare value; on credit, there is an additional charge of up to 30 cents per trip to cover operational costs. CBN reached out to the City Hall to clarify whether this charge conflicts with a 2022 municipal law that determines that the fare value with card must correspond to the current price.

"There are farmers who are taking their tractors to Spain to fill up with regular diesel. We cannot live in a country like this"

Portuguese farmers are crossing the border with tractors to buy regular diesel in Spain, because agricultural diesel in Portugal is more expensive than regular diesel in the neighboring country. Pedro Frazão, a farmer heard by CNN Portugal, criticizes the situation, stating that "we cannot live in a country like this" and defends that the State should be on people's side.
