Tilskudd ved produksjonssvikt

This is a grant program offered by the Norwegian Agriculture Agency (Landbruksdirektoratet) for agricultural enterprises that experience significant production losses due to climatic conditions. The subsidy applies to crop production failures in areas including berries, fruit, vegetables, grains, potatoes, and fodder production. To qualify, production in the damage year must be less than 70 percent of the average yield for the crop group, meaning there is a 30 percent deductible. The production failure must have a climatic cause that cannot be insured against, and applicants must have operated in a professionally sound manner. Applicants must report damage to their municipality as soon as it occurs, and the municipality will review applications before they are processed by the County Governor (statsforvalter) who makes the final decision.
