The Gran Canaria beekeepers' association, ApiGranca, has expressed concern that half of the funds allocated by the Canary Islands government for the sector remain unutilized, with veterinary medication subsidies only benefiting Gran Canaria and Tenerife, excluding the other islands. In a statement, ApiGranca noted that the recent aid announcement by the regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Food Sovereignty only covers part of the beekeeping sector, with only €85,482 of the approximately €170,000 available being utilized. This funding is supported by the European Union, the state, and regional governments, and in Spain, it is distributed through the CAP Strategic Plan.
