VLIF support for productive investments

Original title (NL): VLIF-steun voor productieve investeringen

This call is closed. The submission deadline was 30 September 2026. It stays in the catalogue because these windows recur: ask to be alerted when it reopens.

What it funds

Flanders' main instrument for supporting tangible on-farm investment, open in fixed quarterly windows. The rate is 15%, 30%, 40% or 50% depending on the sustainability level of the investment, with cumulative top-ups of 10 points for young farmers and for cooperation and 5 points for agro-ecological techniques and integrated pest management. Ammonia-reduction investments have their own rates of 40%, 65% or 80%, with a further 25 points for young farmers on investments at the 40% rate. The eligible investment ceiling is EUR 300,000 per farm over the whole period since 2023; there is no aid ceiling for ammonia investments. The itemised list of eligible investments is published in the 'VLIF-codelijst', updated every quarter, which covers irrigation systems and precision farming equipment.

Who can apply

Farms meeting the active farmer definition, with a minimum standard earning capacity of EUR 20,000; natural persons or partnerships subject to specific governance conditions; groups of farmers in which at least half of the members reach the EUR 20,000 threshold.

Notes and caveats

OPEN at the verification date: the current window is 20 July - 30 September 2026. The four annual windows are fixed and recurring (20/01-31/03, 20/04-30/06, 20/07-30/09, 20/10-15/12), making this the most plannable scheme recorded here. The EUR 300,000 ceiling applies to eligible investment per farm cumulated since 2023, not per project. The fund's annual envelope is not published on the page. Always check the current quarter's 'VLIF-codelijst': it is the document that determines which specific equipment is eligible and at what rate.

Status recalculated. The managing body’s portal listed this scheme as «aperto», but the published deadline says otherwise. In such cases we go by the date.
