Newly appointed French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has promised financial support to farmers in a bid to stop France's crippling drought from further hurting the industry. The measures were announced during Borne's trip to the Loiret region, which has been without rain for months.
Visiting a 230-hectare farm specialising in cereals, strawberries and asparagus, the Prime Minister spoke at length with a young farmer who explained that "this year the drought started early".
