Subsidies, grants, insurance and registrations - what you can claim and how to claim it.

Check with your Agrarian Service Centre. These notes are a starting point, not official notices. Names, forms and windows change by season and by district. Farmey does not submit applications for you.

The National Harvest Plan is inside the app - it is not rebuilt on this page.

Farmer registration at the Agrarian Service Centre

Check with your Agrarian Service Centre

Who can apply
A farmer who works land in that centre’s area - owner, lessee or typically the person who actually cultivates.
Deadline
Registration is usually open as an ongoing process, not a single national date. Ask locally before a subsidy window opens.
Where to go
Your Divisional Agrarian Service Centre (and, if they send you on, the District office).
What to bring
National identity card, proof of land (deed, permit, lease or a letter the centre accepts), and details of what you grow.
Issued by
Department of Agrarian Development, through the local Agrarian Service Centre.

Most fertiliser, insurance and grant schemes start from a name that is already on the centre’s books. If you are not registered, that is the first errand - not filling in the scheme form you heard about from a neighbour.

Fertiliser or input support (seasonal)

Check with your Agrarian Service Centre

Who can apply
Usually registered paddy growers, and sometimes other crops named in that season’s circular. Eligibility is not the same every year.
Deadline
Set for that Maha or Yala by the ministry or department. There is no date on this page, because a printed date here would be wrong the next season.
Where to go
Agrarian Service Centre first. Some seasons use a bank or a digital wallet; the centre will say which.
What to bring
Farmer registration, NIC, land extent as they have it on file, and any bank or wallet details they asked for that season.
Issued by
Typically the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Agrarian Development, sometimes with Treasury. Confirm the current issuer at the centre.

Schemes have been a bag of fertiliser, a cash grant, or a voucher. The name on the radio is not always the name on the form. Take the circular or the notice on the centre’s board as the source, not a message in a group chat.

Crop insurance

Check with your Agrarian Service Centre

Who can apply
Growers of crops the insurer lists for that season and district - often paddy, sometimes named field crops. Cover is not automatic because you farm.
Deadline
Premiums are usually collected by a cut-off tied to planting, not to harvest. Ask before you finish sowing.
Where to go
Agrarian Service Centre, or the Agricultural and Agrarian Insurance Board office they point you to.
What to bring
NIC, farmer registration, crop and extent, and planting dates. For a claim: photos, a field inspection date, and whatever form they issued at enrolment.
Issued by
Agricultural and Agrarian Insurance Board (and any private or bank product the centre actually names - do not assume a brand).

Insurance that was not enrolled before the loss is not a claim. If a drought or a flood is already in the news, it is usually too late for that season’s premium. Ask what perils are covered (drought, flood, pests) - the word “crop insurance” hides large gaps.

Phytosanitary certificate for produce leaving the country

Check with your Agrarian Service Centre

Who can apply
Exporters and, in practice, the packhouse or collector who is sending the consignment. A farmer selling only at the pola does not need this.
Deadline
Tied to the shipment, not to the calendar year. Inspection has to happen on a live consignment - ask how many working days they need.
Where to go
National Plant Quarantine Service (Department of Agriculture). Your Agrarian Service Centre can tell you which office handles your crop.
What to bring
Application, consignment details, invoice or packing list, and the crop sample or site access they ask to inspect.
Issued by
National Plant Quarantine Service, Department of Agriculture.

This is here so a farmer whose collector talks about “the certificate” knows what is being asked for, and that it is an export document - not a licence to sell locally. Fees, forms and crop lists belong to the quarantine service, not to Farmey.
