Compensation program for agricultural enterprises experiencing significant crop failure or production loss due to climatic conditions. The program provides financial compensation to cover economic losses when crop yields fall below 70% of the crop group's average yield. This scheme is designed to support farmers who experience weather-related crop failures that cannot be insured against, such as drought, excessive rainfall, flooding, frost, or poor flowering conditions for honey production. The average yield is calculated primarily from the yield per dekar over the past five years. The compensation aims to help agricultural operations maintain viability when faced with unavoidable climate-related production losses.
