Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) Entitlement Registers for 2022 are now available to view Agriculture Minister, Edwin Poots, has confirmed.
“A new year has started, and our farmers are hard at work producing the high quality, locally sourced, food we all rely on. My department continues to support them in their work and I am pleased to confirm that the Entitlement Registers for 2022 have already been published,” he said.
“With the application period for transferring entitlements just around the corner, I would encourage farmers to log on to their DAERA accounts to check their entitlements and plan for any transfers they may need in 2022,”added Minister Poots.
Farmers can view the number of BPS entitlements they hold, their value, previous entitlement transfers, and other important information (such as entitlements that have been confiscated from the business), by logging into their DAERA Online Services account.
The application period for transferring BPS entitlements this year will open on 1 March and close on 3 May 2022. Farmers, or their agents, who wish to transfer entitlements for the 2022 scheme year must do so during this period.
