The Regional Government of Madeira has authorized financial support of up to 20,000 euros to the Casa do Povo da Ponta do Sol for the organization of the 2026 edition of the Regional Sugarcane and Derivatives Fair.
The Regional Government Council has approved, through Resolution no. 132/2026, the signing of a program contract with the Casa do Povo da Ponta do Sol. This financial support is intended to subsidize the costs inherent to the organization of the Regional Sugarcane and Derivatives Fair, which takes place during 2026.
The measure aims to value the economic and cultural importance that sugarcane cultivation holds for the municipality of Ponta do Sol and the Autonomous Region of Madeira, recognizing the fundamental role of private non-profit institutions in promoting traditions and rural development.
The Regional Secretary of Agriculture and Fisheries has been mandated to sign the aforementioned program contract, with the necessary funds for the execution of this initiative duly registered in the budget of the respective Regional Secretariat.
The Regional Government Council approved the proposal to grant the concession and management of the Calheta Hydroelectric Power Plant to Empresa de Eletricidade da Madeira, S.A.
The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Fisheries has introduced changes to the milk sector support scheme, setting the subsidy value per animal.
Candidates for the Technical Assistant position at the Regional Directorate of Commerce, Industry and Quality will take the test on July 13.
