1035 euros for a full career
These are non-salaried workers in agricultural professions who can prove that they have had a career as a farm manager or farm manager for 17 and a half years and have validated all their terms.
They must also receive a very low pension, which will now be revalued to the tune of 85% of the minimum wage, or 1,035 euros for a full career.
All those who are eligible and who receive less than this amount will therefore see their pensions increase.
The cost of this measure will be 283 million euros next year.
It will be financed by national solidarity, in particular with the raising of a tax on alcohol sales.
