Support for the first establishment of young farmers (75-01)
Original title (DE): 75-01 Förderung der ersten Niederlassung von Junglandwirtinnen und Junglandwirten (Existenzgründungsbeihilfe)
What it funds
Lump-sum premium for first establishment in farming. The application must be filed electronically within one year of first establishment via eAMA/DFP; because the age limit (maximum 40 in the year farming starts) refers to establishment rather than to the application, the applicant may be up to 41 at submission. Selection follows a blocked procedure on continuous applications: cut-off dates are published in advance on the digital platform and, within the budget available, projects reaching at least 10 out of a maximum 23 points are selected. A five-year commitment to continue farming is required.
Who can apply
Natural persons, married couples, registered partnerships or cohabiting partners establishing themselves on a farm for the first time, aged at most 40 in the year farming starts and holding the required professional qualification (agricultural skilled-worker certificate or higher). Registered partnerships, legal entities and associations also qualify if the young farmers retain effective long-term control of the holding; joint-stock companies are excluded. Size requirements: at least 3 hectares of agricultural land (or standard output equivalent to EUR 8,000) and at least 0.5 standard labour units or EUR 8,000 standard output by the fourth year.
Access for non-resident businesses
La domanda si presenta su www.eama.at con ID Austria o firma digitale e presuppone il primo insediamento in un'azienda agricola situata in Austria.
Notes and caveats
Not investment aid but a lump-sum establishment premium: the maximum cumulative amount is EUR 15,000. The deadline is not a calendar date but a rolling one (one year from first establishment). Supporting documentation for the supplements must be produced within four years and in any case by 30 June 2029. The blocked-selection cut-off dates could not be retrieved.
