Yesterday we informed about the possibility of applying for a payment for small farms as part of the 2024 campaign, and today the Ministry of Agriculture informs that farmers can also apply for another new payment, this time to the ecoscheme Land excluded from production.
What is the payment rate for land excluded from production?

The estimated payment rate is approximately EUR 126.52/ha, i.e. approximately PLN 563/ha.
The implementation of the new eco-scheme will enable farmers to voluntarily exclude part of arable land from production, for which they will receive payments. Agricultural production (including grazing and mowing) and the use of plant protection products will be prohibited in this area.
