Agriculture declares total loss of aid for twelve agri-food companies in Extremadura

The Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Environment of the Regional Government of Extremadura has declared the total loss of the right to collect the subsidy in fourteen files for investment aid for the processing and marketing of agricultural products for the 2023 financial year. The decision is notified via an announcement published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura (DOE no. 219, of November 13, 2026), with official reference 2026081925, and is dated November 6, 2026.

The framework: Decree 27/2023 and its first call

The procedure is based on Decree 27/2023, of March 29 (DOE no. 84, of May 4, 2023), which establishes the regulatory bases for investment aid intended for the processing and marketing of agricultural products and incorporates the first call corresponding to the 2023 financial year.

The resolution is issued under Article 29 and following of said decree and Articles 45 and 84 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations. The announcement does not detail individual amounts or the specific reasons for each file: the full text, with personalized keys, is only accessible to each interested party through individual notification on the LABOREO platform.

Fourteen files and twelve affected holders

The annex of the announcement lists the files affected by the total loss of the right to payment, identified by their number and their holder:

• AG-23-005 — CENTRAL HORTOFRUTICOLA EL CANITO, SL
• AG-23-062 — EMBALSES DE PETIT, SLU
• AG-23-089 and AG-23-093 — HERMANOS ARROYO ZAPATA, SL
• AG-23-092 — DUCOY OLIVE OIL, SL
• AG-23-095 — MOLINO DE ZAFRA, SL
• AG-23-099 and AG-23-102 — JUAN DEL POZO SANCHEZ, SL
• AG-23-106 — PASARON FRUIT, SL
• AG-23-118 — SDAD. COOP. MONTEVIRGEN
• AG-23-123 — PRUNUSFRUIT, SL
• AG-23-133 — CARNES Y ELABORADOS EXTREMEÑOS, SL
• AG-23-154 — CABELLO MARTAGON PEDRO ANTONIO 00039454R, SLU
• AG-23-163 — NCF AG EXTREMADURA, SLU (due to a change of corporate name from BAIN EXTREMADURA, SLU)

There are, therefore, twelve different holders for fourteen files, as HERMANOS ARROYO ZAPATA, SL and JUAN DEL POZO SANCHEZ, SL each appear with two projects. The profile is that of the Extremaduran processing and marketing industry: fruit and vegetable growers, olive oil mills, meat processors, and fruit growers.

From the hearing process to the final resolution

The announcement closes a procedure that had its previous phase this autumn. On September 28, 2026, the DOE published the notification of the initiation agreement issued on September 18 (reference 2026081575), which opened a hearing process with a period of fifteen business days for allegations and the submission of documents. That initial list already coincided with the fourteen files now resolved.

Allegations are channeled through the ARADO platform, under the procedure “Submission of documentation for EAFRD grants NO SIG – INVESTMENTS.” The announcement reminds that natural and legal persons are obliged to interact electronically with the Administration, in accordance with Article 14 of Law 39/2015.

Two months to appeal to the High Court of Justice

The resolution ends the administrative route. Interested parties may file a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Extremadura within two months from the day following the notification, according to Articles 10, 14, and 46 of Law 29/1998, of July 13.

Optionally, a motion for reconsideration may be filed before the same body that issued the act within one month, in accordance with Article 102 of Law 1/2002, of February 28, of the Government and Administration of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, in connection with Articles 123 and 124 of Law 39/2015. In that case, the judicial route cannot be pursued until the appeal is resolved or dismissed by silence.

The announcement is signed in Mérida, on November 6, 2026, by the Head of the Agri-Food Industry Aid Service, Jesús Miguel Pérez Durán.

The decision affects the core of the regional agro-industry in one fiscal year, 2023, whose transformation grants continue to be refined three years later. For the indicated companies, the total loss of the right to payment implies waiving financing already granted and opens a brief window—of one or two months—to decide whether to litigate via administrative channels or before the TSJEX; for the sector, the trickle of resolutions of this type evidences the rigor with which the Extremaduran Administration reviews the execution of projects subsidized under Decree 27/2023.
