Agriculture allocates nearly €11 million from the national reserve of the CAP to 2,336 farmers and livestock breeders, 72% are young

Since 2023, two new access categories have been added to the national reserve, considered after young and new farmers:

• Disadvantaged farmers who have been active since 2015 without basic payment entitlements.
• Farm managers participate in restructuring programmes to prevent land abandonment.

In 2024, 310 farmers benefited under the first category, with an average of €1,858, and four under the second, with €669 on average.

All recipients also benefit from the complementary redistributive income support, representing an additional 20%. The mechanism will continue to prioritise young and new farmers between 2023 and 2027, consolidating its role as a key tool to ensure generational renewal in agriculture.
