The Regional Government has updated the prices for services provided by the Autonomous Region of Madeira Slaughter Center (CARAM) for 2026.
The Government of the Autonomous Region of Madeira has updated the price lists for services provided by CARAM - Autonomous Region of Madeira Slaughter Center, EPERAM. The update reflects a 3.33% coefficient, corresponding to the variation in the consumer price index (excluding housing) recorded in the previous year.
The changes were formalized through two separate legal acts:
Both ordinances entered into force the day after their publication in the Official Journal, on April 1, 2026, and include detailed tables for various species, such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, equines, and rabbits, covering services for slaughter, carcass preparation, transport, and vehicle washing.
The Regional Government has authorised financial compensation of up to €15,740.55 for 15 owners of professional fishing boats powered by petrol. The grants relate to fishing activity and will be formalised through programme contracts.
Maximum retail fuel prices in the Autonomous Region of Madeira take effect at midnight on 3 October 2026. Unleaded 95 petrol will cost €2.021 per litre and road diesel €2.120.
Young farmers can now meet certain eligibility criteria based on the 48 months before applying, instead of the previously stipulated 24 months. The change aims to include applicants who began the establishment process earlier.
