Payments to areas facing natural constraints
£2,296,059 paid to 150 named companies we hold a profile for, across 2024/2025.
A payment for land in areas — typically upland or otherwise physically disadvantaged — where farming costs more or yields less than on easier ground.
Figures cover corporate recipients matched to a Companies House record with at least 85% confidence on name and postcode district — see methodology. The raw payment data sometimes splits this scheme across an EU-cofinanced and a UK-funded funding mechanism for the same underlying scheme; both are combined here.
