The support opened last summer and applies to investments that reduce ammonia emissions or contribute to more efficient use of nitrogen.
The budget is just over 300 million kronor for 2026–2028, and applications for three times that amount have now been received, according to the Swedish Board of Agriculture.
Therefore, the opportunity to apply is paused.
"We have made this decision so that companies do not have to spend time, money and hope on applications that we know we cannot grant," says Petra Jarlros, head of unit at the agency, in a press release.
Of those who have been granted support, 75 percent are in animal production, 20 percent are in crop production and the rest are machine shops.
The most common investment involves manure storage.
