Beekeepers in Castilla y León are voicing their concerns about being neglected by the central government and are urgently seeking regional support. The agricultural organization COAG Castilla y León has criticized the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAPA) for repeatedly excluding the beekeeping sector from various extraordinary support measures aimed at mitigating rising input costs and the energy crisis caused by recent international conflicts. The frustration among beekeepers is evident after they were left out of direct aid intended to offset income losses due to severe weather, despite the impact on livestock in regions like Andalucía and Extremadura, as well as the extraordinary package for professional diesel costs.
