Notification of storm and downpour damage in agriculture
The extreme weather also caused a lot of damage to agriculture across the country, but the damage mitigation system provides assistance in the case of downpours and storm damage in field crops and horticulture.

The producer must report the damage event within 15 days. Producers who are members of the agricultural damage mitigation system can report their damage caused by the severe storms experienced in the recent period within 15 days of the occurrence of the damage on the electronic interface of the Hungarian State Treasury for this purpose, after logging in at the customer portal, via the menu item Agricultural risk management system. In the case of suffered hail damage or storm damage, the time when the storm occurs in the area affected by the damage shall be considered as the occurrence of the damage event.
What is the difference between a storm and a downpour?
A cloud burst is a weather phenomenon during which the average intensity of the precipitation falling at the place of risk reached or exceeded the value of 0.75 mm/minute during twenty minutes, or the amount of precipitation fell during twenty-four hours reached or exceeded forty-five millimeters. A storm is at least twenty m/sec. wind speed – including sandblasting due to grains or particles carried by the wind at a speed of at least twenty m/sec, which cause mechanical damage to the plant population in the field – and storm damage is a damage event caused by a storm in plants grown in the place of risk, which causes a decrease in yield in the plant culture.
This is how the damage mitigation benefit can be used
When the support conditions are met – for example in the case of a yield reduction of at least 30% and a 15% loss of production value – the producer can use the damage mitigation allowance if he has a damage notification certified by the agricultural damage assessment body, paid the damage mitigation contribution on time in the relevant year, and he will submit an application for mitigation benefits in November, no later than November 30.
