# Late start to the year for durum sowing, concern over areas, subsidies up to 82.7 per stremma for eco-schemes

> Durum wheat sowing in Greece is approaching but is running late because of rain, and farmers are worried about low prices and rising costs that could reduce planted area. State support includes a coupled payment of 11.5 euros per stremma and organic subsidies of up to 82.7 euros per stremma.

## Why it matters

A smaller Greek durum area would reduce local supply, while the subsidies may help offset the area loss; the effect on global feed grain prices is limited.
