Canary Islands call for 2.68 million in POSEI aid for local meat in 2026

The Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Sovereignty of the Government of the Canary Islands has announced, for the 2026 campaign, the grants for Action III.5 of the Community Support Program for Agricultural Productions of the Canary Islands intended for the human consumption of fresh beef, pork, rabbit, goat, sheep, and chicken of local origin. The measure is endowed with 2,685,520 euros and is financed by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF). The call is published via an extract of the Order of November 3, 2026, in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands no. 227, of November 12, 2026, with the identification number BDNS 939897.

Regulatory framework and background

The call is based on the regulatory bases approved by the Order of November 28, 2017 (BOC no. 233, of December 4, 2017), which establish the conditions for the measures comprising the Canarian POSEI. Action III.5 is integrated into Measure III of the Program, corresponding to support for animal production, and is deployed in five sub-actions differentiated by species.

The extract is published in accordance with articles 17.3.b) and 20.8.a) of Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Subsidies Law, and refers to the full text available in the National Subsidies Database. The order bears the signature of the counselor Alejandro Narvay Quintero Castañeda and is dated in the Canary Islands on November 3, 2026.

Budget distribution by species

The 2,685,520 euros are distributed among the five called sub-actions:

• III.5.1 Beef: 300,000 euros.
• III.5.2 Pork: 1,392,000 euros.
• III.5.3 Rabbit meat: 46,500 euros.
• III.5.4 Goat-sheep meat: 660,000 euros.
• III.5.5 Chicken and hen meat: 287,020 euros.

Pork accounts for slightly more than half of the total amount, while rabbit is the line with the lowest budget allocation of the call.

Unit amounts of the aid

The amount is calculated per ton of carcass weight, with a supplement per head in the case of small livestock:

• Bovine: 144 euros per ton of carcass weight.
• Porcine: 300 euros per ton of carcass weight.
• Rabbit: 300 euros per ton of carcass weight.
• Goat-sheep: 300 euros per ton of carcass weight, plus 8.40 euros per slaughtered goat head and 22.80 euros per sheep head, including the Canarian hair sheep breed, which receives this same amount per head in addition to the amount per carcass weight.
• Chicken and hen: 96 euros per ton of carcass weight.

Beneficiaries and application deadline

Owners of meat carcasses at the slaughterhouse exit who meet the requirements and admissibility conditions set forth in the third resolution of the call for applications may apply. Applications shall be submitted exclusively by electronic means, through the electronic office of the Public Administration of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands (https://sede.gobiernodecanarias.org), in accordance with the standardized model enabled on said site.

The submission period extends from January 15 to 31, 2027, both inclusive, and the application must be accompanied by the documentation provided for in section 2 of the fifth resolution of the order. The full text of the call can be consulted in the National Grants Database via the address https://www.infosubvenciones.es/bdnstrans/GE/es/convocatoria/939897.

The call arrives with a markedly unequal distribution between species and with a calendar that forces slaughterhouses and carcass owners to prepare the documentation before mid-January. For the Canarian meat sector, the porcine line—1.39 million—and the goat-sheep line—660,000 euros plus a supplement per head—are those that determine the actual volume of liquidity that the POSEI will mobilize in this campaign.
