Support payments decreased 2% in 2020
Before 2014 the main support payment called 'Basic Payment Scheme' was paid through the 'Single Farm Payment'
Total support payments to farming in 2020 - £452 million
The value of support payments fell by two per cent in 2020.
Basic Payments are estimated to have increase three per cent in 2020 to £275 million. This is due to the amount paid by the EU increasing, as the EU moves to make payments per hectare more equal throughout Europe.
The exchange rate can affect the overall amount of support available for agriculture. However in 2020 this had little effect on the overall payments received by Scottish Farmers as the exchange rate between sterling and the euro remained fairly constant over 2020.
