Financial support

Currently the support for organic farmers is paid within the framework of the Rural Development Programme of the CR for 2014–2020, which is a separate measure for organic production. The amount of the subsidy depends on the area of farmland under organic agriculture, the culture grown and on whether the subsidised land is in the transitional period or already being farmed fully organically. This allocation of support is a new incentive for farms to move to organic farming, because the amount of subsidy during the transitional period is higher for most crops.

The amounts paid for the “Organic Farming” measure from 1998 to 2016 – subsidies for the area being farmed organically or placed in the transitional period
