The value of the Greening payment per eligible farmer is calculated as a fixed percentage of the total value of entitlements activated by that farmer. Currently the fixed percentage stands at approximately 44%.  This fixed percentage is calculated annually by dividing the Greening ceiling for that year by the total value of all payment entitlements activated in that year and as such the fixed percentage may vary from year to year as the number of activated entitlements changes depending on applications in a particular year.

The following table sets out the number of farmers and greening payments in the range provided by the Deputy.
