Provincial CAP Subsidy

The provincial CAP subsidies are part of the Dutch National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2023–2027. Unlike the basic premium and eco-scheme (which are administered nationally through RVO), these programs are administered by the provinces. Which subsidies are available therefore varies by province and by application round.

The main provincial CAP programs are:

Productive investments for green spaces, water management, and animal welfare.

Investments in, for example:

  • Low-emission technologies;
  • Water management;
  • Soil improvement;
  • Biodiversity;
  • Precision agriculture;
  • Animal welfare;
  • Agroforestry.

The subsidy is often 40% of the investment costs, with higher percentages available for young farmers or certain investments. The exact conditions vary by province.

Below is an overview of the provincial CAP-NSP funding rounds (as of mid-2026). These funding rounds change regularly; therefore, the national CAP funding round calendar remains the most up-to-date source.
