It was a long -awaited reform by the agricultural world. Parliament definitively adopted on Wednesday 1 in the evening on Wednesday in the evening, by a final unanimous vote of the Senate, a bill carried by the Republicans (LR) making it possible to identify the pensions of non-employee farmers.

Far from tensions on the reform of pensions backing up the legal age from 62 to 64 years, the text of deputy Julien Dive had been voted unanimously by the National Assembly in early December. The senators also voted unanimously, without modifications, confirming its final adoption.

He provides, as of 2026, “to extend to agricultural non-employees”, in particular operating heads and “collaborators”, “the calculation of basic retirement on the only twenty-five best years “, and no longer on the entirety of their career.

“The method of calculating our farmers’s pensions is particularly illegible”, underlined the rapporteur of the text in the Senate, Pascale Gruny (LR).

an average retirement of 1,079 euros gross

The Social Affairs Committee considered that the text was not “perfect”, but “fully aware of the symbolic importance of this great brand of national support for these women and these men to whom we are all liable, Judged preferable to secure the advanced advances of high struggle, “she said.

Retirement chiefs receive an average of 1,079 euros gross for a full career (excluding reversion), according to elements of the agricultural social mutuality (MSA).

This reform constitutes according to the Minister of Labor, Olivier Dussopt, “a new step in terms of equality and recognition of farmers”.

On this consensual subject, two so -called Chassaigne 1 and 2 laws had already been voted unanimous in 2020 and 2021.

Promulgated in July 2020, the “Chassaigne law” – by the name of the deputy and leader of the communist group at the National Assembly, André Chassaigne – had noted the pensions of the former chiefs of agricultural farm at a floor level of 85 % of the SMIC Net.
