AIPA approved 11.28 million lei in subsidies in September, about 7 times less than in August
The Agency for Intervention and Payments in Agriculture (AIPA) authorised only 11.28 million lei in subsidy payments in September 2026. That is about 7 times less than in August (82.2 million lei) and roughly 20 times below the monthly average for the first half of the year (over 226 million lei). The agency did not explain the drop.
Most of the money went to advance payments: 5.52 million lei for the first tranche of one 2025 application and the second tranche of 19 applications from 2023–2024. Another 5.38 million lei was authorised for 100 applications for agricultural insurance premium support in 2026. In the first half of the year AIPA disbursed over 1.36 billion lei, around 60% of the National Fund for Agriculture and Rural Development, whose 2026 budget exceeds 2.29 billion lei.
What it means for you
- Farmers waiting for subsidies should plan their cash flow for possible payment delays.
- You can check the status of your application directly with AIPA.
- Insurance premium subsidies are still being paid — if you insured crops or livestock, it is worth applying.
