Press release
Government opens application window for the Lump Sum Exit Scheme to facilitate a voluntary planned exit from the industry. ![]() Farmers in England who wish to leave the industry can now apply for the new Lump Sum Exit Scheme which will provide a payment so they can exit the sector in a managed way. In return, farmers will be expected to either rent or sell their land or surrender their tenancy in order to create opportunities for new entrants and farmers wishing to expand their businesses. The Scheme, which opens for applications today until 30 September 2022, follows a public consultation and builds on evidence that some farmers would like to retire or leave the industry but have found it difficult to do so for financial reasons. The exit payment provided to eligible applicants will be based on the average direct payments made to the farmer for the 2019 to 2021 Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) years. This reference figure will be capped at £42,500 and multiplied by 2.35 to calculate the lump sum, meaning that farmers could receive up to around £100,000. We want to support new entrants coming into the industry and will be giving more detail of our next steps in the near future. Environment Secretary George Eustice said:
The Lump Sum Exit Scheme guidance, including how to apply, can be found here. The Future Farming Resilience Fund, which provides free expert business advice to BPS recipients in England, is still open for applications. Our delivery partners will be able to support farmers in making decisions on how to ensure they have viable businesses or indeed to make the decision to exit the sector. A further phase of support will be launched in late September and will run until March 2025.
