JC 132 — Agriculture and horticulture — Agriculture and horticulture: meal vouchers rise in 2026
Your sector sees the largest meal voucher increases in 2026. Up to +€5 per voucher, with a €10 ceiling and automatic conversion of the surplus into eco-vouchers. A major impact to plan for, especially given the seasonal nature of your business.
Your challenges
Sound familiar?
Does seasonality complicate everything?
With headcount fluctuating across seasons, calculating and granting meal vouchers becomes a real administrative puzzle.
+€5 per voucher: what impact on your budget?
This is one of the largest sectoral increases. Combined with the €10 ceiling, it represents a major budget jump for agricultural businesses.
What to do with the surplus above €10?
If the increase exceeds the legal €10 ceiling, the surplus must be converted into eco-vouchers. This requires dual benefit management.
Key measures
