Indemnité Compensatoire de Handicaps Naturels: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Farmers in mountainous or steep areas can receive financial support to help offset lower productivity caused by difficult geography.
This scheme provides financial support to farmers working in areas where the natural landscape makes farming more difficult.
Who it's for
This is for farmers located in specific zones where natural constraints, such as mountains or steep slopes, make agricultural work more challenging.
What you get
You can receive financial compensation designed to make up for the lower productivity caused by the difficult geography of your land.
What it costs you
While there is no upfront fee, you must commit to maintaining your agricultural activity on the land for at least five years to remain eligible.
The catch to know
The boundaries of the designated zones can change. You should check the official status of your specific land parcels every year to ensure they are still covered.
How to apply
- Confirm your land is located within a recognized disadvantaged zone.
- Verify that your land parcels meet the specific geographical requirements.
- Check the official government resources for the current application requirements.
