The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Rural Development (MBPZhR) has announced an extension for the application process concerning the 2026 Direct Payments Program. This decision grants an additional ten days for farmers who have not yet submitted their paperwork to complete the required procedures. According to the ministerial directive, the extension commenced on April 22 and is now set to conclude on April 31, 2026, at 4:00 PM.
Applications must continue to be submitted directly to the Municipal Directorates of Agriculture within the respective local municipalities. MBPZhR confirmed that the 2026 Direct Payments Program has undergone significant redesign to ensure alignment with the gradual harmonization efforts toward the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policies (CAP). The revised program structure is built upon four primary pillars of support designed to assist the agricultural sector.
These foundational pillars include a Basic Income component calculated based on land area, provisions for Redistributive Payments, and support through Production-Linked Payments. The extension period is intended to ensure maximum participation, providing ample time for all eligible farmers to meet the revised deadline. The Ministry emphasizes that adherence to these updated guidelines is crucial for all applicants during these extended days.
