Beihilfe zur privaten Lagerhaltung von Zucker Abschluss

If you produce or sell sugar, you can receive aid for private storage during EU market organization measures. To do this, first apply to the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) for private storage.

The European Union (EU) can support agricultural market prices by granting subsidies for the private storage of sugar. This can support you as a market participant in crises in the sugar sector.

Only when the EU Commission publishes a corresponding market regulation measure can you, as a trader or manufacturer of sugar, apply to the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE) to conclude a storage contract for private storage. Storage over contractually agreed periods is intended to relieve the markets and stabilize prices.
