All applicants in the Organic Farming Scheme are subject to annual validation checks to ensure the correct payments are made. To date, approximately 92% of farmers have received their advance payment. Almost half of all payments due to farmers in partnerships have been made.
It is my Department's aim that the majority of organic farmers, including the remaining partnerships, will be paid within the next seven weeks, including the case referred to by the Deputy.
