The EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was initially established to guarantee secure supplies of food for Europe's citizens. Now it is a broad policy whose primary objectives are market-oriented sustainable food production, supporting the incomes of farmers, preservation of the environment and rural development.
In Ireland, the agri-food industry is our largest indigenous industry and accounts for 7.1% of employment, 9.5% of exports and 3.8% of Gross Value Added. The CAP supports the development of the sector through a combination of direct payments to farmers, financial assistance towards investments in rural development and environmental protection and market support measures.
In accordance with EU Regulation 1306/2013, the Department is obliged to ensure annual ex-post publication of all of the beneficiaries of CAP funding, both legal and non-legal persons, which shall remain available for two years from the date of the initial publication.
