Scheme

The redistributive payment is a decoupled area payment aimed at supporting smaller farms by providing them an additional support on their first hectares declared under the basic payment. The redistributive payment is optional for Member States. Where applied, up to 30% of their national ceiling can be used to finance this payment. Payment per hectare cannot exceed 65% of national or, where relevant, regional average payment per hectare and is granted up to the first 30 hectares, or where relevant, up to a higher threshold, but not exceeding the national average farm size out in Annex VIII of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013.
