Germany will receive around EUR 60 million of this exceptional aid and, in addition, the federal government will provide a further EUR 120 million, which means that the crisis reserve will have a total of EUR 180 million allocated to the German sectors most affected by the war in Ukraine, which are horticulture, viticulture, poultry farming, and pig production.

In the case of swine production, the amounts of aid are:

  • Finishing pigs: €128 per 100 fattening pigs raised on average,
