This grant program provides subsidies for certified seed potato cultivation in Norway. The program aims to stimulate increased use of high-quality seed potatoes through certified seed potato breeding. The subsidy covers multiple aspects including price reduction for seed potatoes in prebasis, basis and certified classes, cultivation subsidies for approved prebasis class per decare and per batch, district subsidies for certified seed potatoes grown in Northern Norway, and freight subsidies for transportation costs of certified seed potatoes. Additionally, support is available for operation and maintenance of clone cultivation facilities, including greenhouses, testing expenses, soil sampling for control of potato cyst nematode, replacement of seed potatoes, and heat therapy equipment. Applications are processed by the Norwegian Agriculture Agency (Landbruksdirektoratet), with a deadline of November 15 each year. Approved seed potato businesses are eligible to apply for this subsidy program.
