# Polish agricultural funding and monitoring initiatives > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/polish-agricultural-funding-and-monitoring-initiatives > Updated: 2026-09-07T12:41:12.000Z. Sources: 13. Developments: 4. The Polish agricultural sector continues to navigate various support and monitoring initiatives. The Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR) has implemented a 624.63 million PLN funding program for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in agricultural processing, offering reimbursements of up to 50% or 60% for machinery, modernization, and renewable energy costs. Monitoring efforts have intensified for the 2026 campaign. ARiMR is conducting verifications of direct and area payment applications using on-site farm visits and remote sensing technologies. When satellite monitoring identifies discrepancies, farmers must take action to avoid reduced payments or the requirement to return funds. To resolve these irregularities, farmers are encouraged to submit geotagged photographs via the Mobilna ARiMR application. The deadline for submitting these changes or confirming facts is September 15, 2026. In a new development, ARiMR has begun the disbursement of direct payment advances for 2026, starting September 8. Agriculture Minister Stefan Krajewski stated this is the “earliest such disbursement in history,” intended to support farms facing difficulties due to recent weather anomalies. Approximately 500,000 farmers are expected to receive transfers during the initial phase between September 8 and September 10, with calculated payments totaling 3.5 billion PLN. ARiMR has warned beneficiaries to ensure their registered bank or credit union accounts are current and belong to the beneficiary to avoid suspended payments. Local initiatives also continue, such as the soil testing program in the Lubaczów Municipality. Additionally, farmers in the Biological Cultivation eco-scheme must submit necessary documentation by September 15 to receive payments. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-07: ARiMR begins early disbursement of direct payment advances for Polish farmers ARiMR has started early disbursement of 2026 direct payment advances in Poland, aiming to reach 500,000 farmers by September 10 to support those affected by weather anomalies. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/arimr-begins-early-disbursement-of-direct-payment-advances-for-polish-farmers ### 2026-09-05: ARiMR agricultural subsidy inspections require farmer action Polish farmers must address ARiMR agricultural subsidy discrepancies by September 15, 2026, to avoid payment reductions following satellite and on-site inspections. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/arimr-agricultural-subsidy-inspections-require-farmer-action ### 2026-08-27: Agricultural monitoring and soil testing initiatives announced in Poland Polish farmers can access free soil testing in Lubaczów Municipality, while ARiMR uses satellite monitoring and AI to verify crop declarations for direct payments. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/agricultural-monitoring-and-soil-testing-initiatives-announced-in-poland ### 2026-08-20: ARiMR announces new agricultural funding and subsidy deadlines ARiMR is launching a 624.63 million PLN funding call for agricultural processing enterprises and reminding farmers to submit eco-scheme documentation by September 15. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/arimr-announces-new-agricultural-funding-and-subsidy-deadlines --- Cite as: Polish agricultural funding and monitoring initiatives.
