New rules for professional farmers – easier access to EU subsidies

The act changes the criteria for recognizing farmers as professionally active to receive EU subsidies. It introduces more ways to prove agricultural activity and provides simplifications for small farms and farmers with livestock.
Key points
More ways to prove professional activity: not only costs and revenues, but also livestock ownership, organic production, farm investments, or seed subsidies.
Spouses can combine documents: costs and revenues of a spouse count for the farmer applying for aid, if the spouse does not apply for the same subsidies.
Simplification for small farms in 2026: farmers with subsidies up to 1125 euros do not need to document costs and revenues.
New data in the registry: the system will store information on whether a farmer is professionally active, facilitating future applications.
