Over 15,500 Welsh farm businesses have received advance payments from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) 2024.
More than 96% of claimants received a BPS advance on Monday, October 14, worth approximately 70% of their estimated claim value.
Rural Payments Wales (RPW) will continue to make these advance payments as individual BPS claims become eligible for an advance. With full and remaining payments to be made from December 12, should validation on BPS claims be met.
It is hoped that all payments, bar those of a complex nature, will be fully validated and the paid out before the end of the payment window on June 30, 2025.
Ifor Huw Irranca-Davies, deputy first minister for Wales, holds responsibility for rural affairs and said: “I am pleased that thousands of farms across Wales have now had the BPS advance payments for 2024.
“I hope this gives farming businesses and families across Wales reassurance and stability for the year ahead.
“Rural Payments Wales will be working hard to ensure full and remaining balance payments are made as early as possible once the payment window opens in December.”
