On July 24, 2026, LA UNIÓ urged the Valencian Agriculture Department to establish an extraordinary aid program to mitigate the rising diesel costs affecting local beekeeping operations. The organization also requested the Ministry of Agriculture to amend national regulations to include beekeepers in the extraordinary fuel assistance currently unavailable to them. LA UNIÓ argues that government measures to address the geopolitical crisis in the Middle East unjustly exclude beekeeping, which relies heavily on transportation costs, especially for migratory hives.
