Easier to Become Dairy Farmer in Northern Norway
The Norwegian government considers recruitment to agriculture to be important for both self-sufficiency and total preparedness in Norway. It will now be easier to become a milk producer in the Arctic regions of Troms and Finnmark.
"The recruitment quota is intended to make it easier for new milk producers to establish themselves. The aim of the scheme is to strengthen recruitment and new establishment in milk production in the two northernmost counties", says Minister of Agriculture and Food Nils Kristen Sandtrøen.
The Directorate of Agriculture can offer to purchase quotas to applicants who plan to establish themselves as milk producers. Quotas can be used after an approved application and payment. The scheme is aimed at those who have not owned or rented quota in the last three years. Applicants who are 35 years of age or younger will be given priority, but anyone who meets the conditions can apply. The recruitment quota has been established as a follow-up to the 2025 agricultural settlement.
Briefly about the scheme:
The state offers up to four million liters of basic quota.
Price: One NOK per liter.
Up to 700,000 liters can be applied for per applicant.
