Extremadura has not held such elections since 2002. With this call for elections from the regional government "a necessary step towards the democratic normalisation in the sector" is made, as is pointed out by the Advisor to Agricultural Policies, Begoña García Bernal. On the 12 of March elections will be held.
On the other hand, the Board has authorised three lines of financial support to the agro-industrial sector. One of which will provide more than 173 million euros in agro-environmental aid until 2020.
