From May 15 to June 16, 2025, PRIA is accepting applications for its most popular support measures of the year. Around 13,000 applicants are expected to use the e-PRIA platform to submit their requests. The total budget available for this round is nearly €212 million.
The application round includes more than 20 different support schemes under the 2023–2027 program period. These include eco-scheme payments, organic farming support, animal welfare payments, bee forage area support, and young farmer area-based payments. The support is aimed at promoting environmentally friendly farming and the development of rural life.
Kairi Kaasik, service manager at PRIA’s support service development department, highlighted an important improvement this year: “Those who applied for support in 2024 now have the option to use a pre-filled application form based on last year’s data. Our clients have been waiting for this update, and it will definitely make the application process more convenient and time-saving.” However, Kaasik emphasized that applicants still need to carefully review the pre-filled data before submitting, as things like crop types may have changed.
Applications must be submitted via e-PRIA by June 16, 2025. First-time applicants need to register as PRIA clients before applying. All necessary instructions and details are available through PRIA’s official channels.
