Provisional payment for the 2025 participation year
The provisional payment corresponds to 50% of the estimated final amount. To be eligible, you must meet the following conditions for participation:
- Transmission of financial data
- You must have transmitted your final financial data for the previous participation year.
- Meet the program's conditions of eligibility
- Meet all the program eligibility requirements, with the exception of the declaration of agricultural income for tax purposes, which is only required when applying for final processing.
- Significant margin decrease
- Have suffered a margin decrease estimated at more than 30% compared to your reference margin.
- If your reference margin is negative, your margin for the year must be lower than your reference margin and you must comply with the conditions for payment of a negative margin payment.
- Minimum period of activity
- Have been active for at least six months since the beginning of the financial year for which you are applying for provisional treatment, with a production cycle completed during the year of participation;
- This last condition may be relaxed if your agricultural activities have been spread over at least three months and are considered sufficient to reasonably estimate the production margin for the year of participation. The same principle applies to the production cycle condition.
