The Ministry of Agriculture is revising the compensation calculation for farmers affected by drought in 2025, focusing on verified areas by APIA. The aid can reach up to 333 lei per hectare, with applications due by November 6, 2026. Changes aim to clarify definitions and ensure accurate compensation based on official assessments. The new formula will use confirmed areas from APIA checks, addressing previous discrepancies in damage assessments. Farmers who have already applied will not need to resubmit their requests, as existing applications remain valid. The total budget for this support scheme is over 155 million lei, with payments expected by December 31, 2026.
