Crop losses on fruit trees and berries: new applicable rates
Farmers who have suffered, due to the frost episode on 1er as of April 5, 2022, crop losses on fruit trees and berries will be compensated for agricultural disasters and the costs of this episode.
The compensation due is paid by the National Fund for Agricultural Risk Management. It is equal to the amount of compensable damage multiplied by the rate of compensation.
This compensation rate varies according to the rate of crop losses:
Loss rate (%) | Compensation rate |
Between 30 and 50 | 28 |
Between 50 and 70 | 33 |
Greater than 70 | 40 |
FYI
According to Article L361-5 of the Rural and Maritime Fisheries Code, agricultural disasters are "damage resulting from risks, other than those considered insurable, of exceptional importance due to abnormal variations in the intensity of a natural climate agent, when the technical means of preventive or curative control customarily employed in agriculture, taking into account the production methods considered, could not be used or proved insufficient or ineffective".
Conditions for obtaining such compensation
Compensation for crop losses on fruit trees and berries caused by frosts between 1er as of 5 april 2022, complies with a specific condition since the losses incurred must be at least 11 % (instead of 13 %) of the value of the gross operating product.
Nevertheless, you must first ensure that the state of agricultural disaster has been recognized by prefectural decree after the opinion of the National Committee for Agricultural Risk Management for crop losses caused by the frost episode that occurred between the 1er and April 5, 2022.
The other conditions to be fulfilled in order to benefit from this compensation are those attached to the common system of agricultural disasters.
How to be compensated?
You can then apply for compensation in two ways:
- by teledeclaration by connecting to TeleCALAM;
- by form CERFA 13681*03.
Please note
The deadline for submitting a claim by CERFA form may be more than thirty days under the decree recognizing an agricultural disaster if the prefect has fixed such a period.
