This is a subsidy program offered by the Norwegian Agriculture Directorate (Landbruksdirektoratet) for producers who use Norwegian-produced grain to make flour and cereal products. The program provides financial support for the consumption of domestically produced food grain used in the production of food and beverages intended for domestic consumption. Applications must be submitted monthly for eligible production, and recipients are required to report their total monthly consumption of food grain as well as their annual total sales of all product categories.

This grant program provides subsidies for transportation of grain in Norway. The program covers transport of grain from surplus areas in Eastern Norway to production facilities in deficit areas, transport of imported grain to production facilities north of Stavanger, and transport of organic grain from producers to the nearest receiving facility. The purpose of the freight subsidy is to equalize prices for producers and consumers. The program is based on producers covering a portion of the costs themselves. Grain buyers are eligible to apply for this subsidy. Applications must be submitted monthly by the 15th of the following month, with a final deadline of February 15th of the year after for the previous calendar year's freight subsidies.

This is a subsidy program for seed companies (såkornforretninger) in Norway that maintain emergency storage of certified seed grain between seasons. The program provides financial support for seed grain inventory held beyond normal levels as a preparedness measure. Seed companies that have stored seed grain between seasons can apply for subsidies. The subsidy is calculated based on the inventory of certified seed grain as of June 30th that exceeds 5% of the company's average sales of spring grain over the last three grain seasons including the application year. Support is not paid for inventory exceeding 25% of this calculation basis. An annual rate per kilogram and budget framework for the subsidy is set in the Agricultural Agreement each year. If the total quantity applied for indicates that the budget framework will be exceeded, an equal percentage cut is made for all applicants.

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.
