The executive had already proposed 70 initiatives at the beginning of the year, marked by the farmers' protests.
Among the measures announced today, in a statement, by the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, are support for the treasury, such as access to loans, which can reach 75,000 euros, and the acceleration of irrigation and water storage projects.
Also on the table is a plan to support some of the areas most affected by the drought.
The Government also wants to have a new version of the 'Ecophyto' ready by May, a plan to reduce pesticides that was contested by the sector.
The measures were well received by the Young Farmers' Union and the National Federation of Agricultural Operators' Unions.
In January, French farmers took to the streets, asking the executive for more support.
The protests lost steam after the Government announced, on February 1, a set of measures for the sector.
