Young Farmer Installation Aid: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how new farmers under 40 can access capital grants and interest subsidies to launch their first agricultural business in France.

This scheme provides financial support to help new farmers establish their first agricultural business.

Who it's for

This aid is designed for farmers under the age of 40 who are in the process of starting their very first agricultural holding.

What you get

If you qualify, you can receive a capital grant to help cover your startup costs. Additionally, the scheme offers subsidies to help lower the interest rates on loans used for your initial investments.

What it costs you

To access these benefits, you cannot simply apply with a request for funds; you must be able to present a detailed four-year business plan. You must also prove that you hold the necessary professional qualifications required to run a farm.

The catch to know

The financial support is tied closely to your original projections. You must follow your submitted business plan strictly; if your business operations deviate from the plan, you will need to seek formal administrative approval to stay compliant.

How to apply

  1. Ensure you meet the age and professional qualification requirements.
  2. Develop a comprehensive four-year business plan for your new holding.
  3. Contact your local agricultural department to begin the formal application process.
