Question 1699 — pensions: agricultural regime

Summary

Mr. Michel Delpon draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the situation of agricultural retirees. Small agricultural pensions concern nearly a million farmers. The pension of a non-agricultural employee - farm manager, collaborating spouse or family helper -, according to a report from the Assembly's Social Affairs Committee, amounts on average to 766 euros per month, i.e. a lower level of 5% to the solidarity allowance for the elderly and 10% to the poverty threshold. While the previous government had planned to revalorize agricultural pensions in order to raise the minimum threshold to 75% of the SMIC on January 1, 2017, on February 2, 2017, the deputies unanimously voted for a bill in favor of an revalorization of agricultural pensions up to 85% of the SMIC on January 1, 2018. This measure was evaluated at 266 million euros. Since then, this bill has been pending in the Senate following the suspension of work during the electoral period. Agricultural retirees who receive small pensions are waiting for this bill to be voted on in the Senate and promulgated. Consequently, he asks him what he intends to do in order to resolve this issue and in this case whether this measure will be financed for 2018.
