New Support for Small Farms and Land Out of Production
This law introduces two new forms of support for farmers: a simplified payment for small farms and payments for land withdrawn from agricultural production. These changes aim to facilitate access to financial aid and support sustainable agriculture, but some payments depend on European Commission approval.
Key points
Small Farm Payment: Farmers owning 1 to 5 hectares of agricultural land can apply for a simplified payment of up to 1125 euros annually.
Payments for Land Out of Production: Possibility to receive support for unused arable land, up to 4% of the total owned area.
2024 Deadlines: Applications for new payments must be submitted by August 31, 2024.
EU Approval Condition: The small farm payment is contingent on approval from the European Commission.
Flexibility in Difficult Situations: The Minister can adjust aid conditions in cases of natural disasters or adverse weather.
