Regulation (2026:1524) on state aid to undertakings engaged in the primary production of agricultural products or fishery and aquaculture products for increased costs due to the crisis in the Middle East.

This Regulation establishes temporary Swedish state aid for businesses engaged in the primary production of agricultural products and fishery and aquaculture products, with the purpose of compensating them for increased fuel and nitrogen-fertiliser costs caused by the crisis in the Middle East. The aid is granted without application, subject to available funds and EU State aid rules, and may not exceed the equivalent of EUR 50,000 per beneficiary. Eligible recipients include certain crop producers, professional fishers and aquaculture businesses, with support calculated according to factors such as hectares cultivated, vessel engine capacity, registered aquaculture capacity or harvested production. The Swedish Board of Agriculture (Jordbruksverket) is responsible for administering and paying the aid, which must be disbursed by 31 December 2026, and the Ordinance also regulates repayment, recovery, reporting and publication of aid.
