The Hungarian State Treasury has already disbursed around HUF 60 billion based on AÖP applications for 2024, of which the number of beneficiaries of partial payments exceeded 56 thousand. The aim of the AÖP, which is popular among farmers, continues to be for those affected to implement activities that can be integrated into their daily practices and that contribute to soil protection, water retention, biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. The Ministry of Agriculture is committed to supporting the spread of sustainable, environmentally and climate-conscious agricultural practices through voluntary and incentive programs, with the active participation of farmers. After the completion of the checks related to the affected applications, payments will continue on schedule in the coming weeks. Farmers can track the status of their applications in the usual way, on the customer portal.
