The Ministry of Agriculture (MKM) in Slovenia, along with relevant institutions, is accelerating procedures to provide compensation to farmers affected by last year's drought and dryness. The government has allocated €8.45 million to address the consequences of the drought, with the first payments expected in August 2026. The ministry acknowledges the significant impact of natural disasters on Slovenian farms and aims to ensure timely and legally sound processing of claims. The Agency for Agricultural Markets and Rural Development (AKTRP) is currently verifying eligibility conditions and calculating compensation amounts per farm. The ministry is also finalizing necessary procedures for activating state aid schemes, which is a critical step for disbursing funds. Additionally, the government provided €4.5 million for damage recovery and an additional €360,000 for 100% damage reimbursement. The ministry is financing long-term measures to increase agricultural resilience against climate change, including irrigation systems, protection against pests, and insurance premiums covering 70% of production risks.

Slovenia continues to experience dry conditions in the surface soil layer, although water balance data show a slightly smaller deficit compared to the previous week. According to forecasts by the Agency for Environment of the Republic of Slovenia (Arso), upcoming rainfall will improve conditions somewhat but will not fully compensate for the deficits. Over the last 30 days, the country has experienced exceptionally dry weather, with the most pronounced droughts in areas around Ljubljana, Lower Sava, Pomur, Podravje, Gorenjska, Savinja, Goriska, and Notranjska. The period was marked by unusually high temperatures, with average daily temperatures significantly above the long-term average. Rainfall has been sparse over the past month, with some increase in the last ten days. In regions with the most severe drought, up to 100 liters of rain per square meter would be needed to normalize conditions. Upcoming weather is expected to bring more cloud cover and isolated thunderstorms, potentially adding up to 20 liters of rain per square meter in western and southern parts of the country.
