Payments to farmers are comprised of direct payments under Pillar 1 of the CAP, and farmer-related Rural Development Programme payments under Pillar 2. The European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) finances direct payments and market supports. The European Agriculture Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) co-finances rural development measures under approved Rural Development Programmes (RDP).
The following table summarises the payments from 2010 to 2020:
| Pillar I EAGF* | Pillar IIEAFRD* | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year | €000 | €000 | €000 |
| 2010 | 1,159,583 | 572,852 | 1,732,435 |
| 2011 | 1,340,534 | 536,832 | 1,877,366 |
| 2012 | 1,287,835 | 494,142 | 1,781,977 |
| 2013 | 1,220,752 | 431,147 | 1,651,899 |
| 2014 | 1,202,278 | 489,556 | 1,691,835 |
| 2015 | 1,142,877 | 395,810 | 1,538,687 |
