Question 16295 — pensions: agricultural regime

Summary

Mr. Julien Limongi questions the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty on the effects of Law No. 2023-87 of February 13, 2023 relating to the calculation of the basic pension of non-agricultural employees. This law provides for calculating the basic pension of non-agricultural employees over the 25 most advantageous insurance calendar years. The implementing decrees published on December 30, 2025 allowed entry effective force of this reform from January 1, 2026. This development appeared necessary, non-agricultural employees being until then the only ones to see their retirement calculated over their entire career, without distinction between good and bad years. However, this reform does not benefit self-employed farmers who have liquidated their retirement rights before January 1, 2026. The latter are at number of at least 1.3 million and receive an average pension of 1,150 euros gross per month, or 350 euros less than the national average for retirees. According to the latest study by the Department of Research, Studies, Evaluation and Statistics (DREES), the average amount of agricultural pensions stands at 840 euros gross per month, compared to 1,531 euros for all direct pensioners, a difference of around 45%. This situation, aggravated by the structural volatility of agricultural income, contributes to the persistent difficulties of the peasant world and the feeling of legitimate injustice that it expresses. The lack of retroactivity of this reform, which seems to be explained mainly by financial and technical constraints, accentuates the difficulties of the longest retired farmers, whose pensions sometimes remain below the threshold. of poverty. Consequently, he asks him to kindly provide him with a quantified assessment of the cost that would be represented by extending the benefit of this reform to non-agricultural employees who have liquidated their retirement rights before January 1, 2026.
