A €12 million temporary subsidy scheme has been re-opened through which the government is ensuring that the price of bread, flour and animal feed remains stable.

This was announced by Agricultural Minister, Anton Refalo during a news conference, during which it was explained how this subsidy, which was also given last year, is aimed at importers of cereals and flour for local production.

“As a government, we immediately saw that we should be the ones to lift the burdens that the international scene brought with it,” he said.

“Malta, as a small island, felt this impact much more than other countries that are larger and that have more resources, also because of the insularity and size of our country. Therefore, we are re-launching this scheme, because the government is really fair to the citizens and committed to keep the price of flour and animal feed stable,” said Minister Refalo.

Applications will be received until noon on the 15th of January 2024.
