European Commissioner for Agriculture Christophe Hansen says farmers are facing limited cash and a difficult season, citing extreme weather impacts on harvests. He tells Euronews that this summer has been “very challenging,” with many farmers losing crops due to climate conditions.

The comments provide context for the financial pressure farmers face as they deal with reduced yields and potential revenue losses. Both Euronews sources frame Hansen’s remarks around the practical realities for farm businesses—cash constraints and the consequences of extreme weather—though they do not specify particular countries, crops, or the scale of losses.

While the reporting is brief, the shared focus is that adverse climate events during the summer period are driving both agricultural and financial stress. The sources present the commissioner’s view without detailing policy decisions or new funding figures tied to the remarks.
