Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (#SCEP).

May 24, 2023

My colleague Minister McConalogue announces huge uptake of the Suckler Carbon Efficiency Programme (#SCEP).

As of the closing date of midnight on 22nd May 2023, there were over 20,000 SCEP applications submitted. SCEP is an excellent scheme that rewards #farmers with a payment of €150/cow on the first 22 cows and €120/cow thereafter. This compares to €90/cow on the first 10/cows and €80/cow thereafter in the BDGP.

Applicants are reminded to: -

1. ensure they calve down a minimum of 50% of the yearly reference number they applied for, between 1st July 2022 and 30th June 2023,

2. ensure they are in the Bord Bia Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme (SBLAS) by 16th October 2023 at the very latest, and

3. ensure they submit their BISS application by midnight 29th May 2023.

Applicants who are not already in the #BordBia Sustainable Beef and Lamb Assurance Scheme engaging with Bord Bia at the earliest possible opportunity as there will be a time lag of at least three months between contacting Bord Bia and getting certified.

The Bord Bia’s Helpdesk can be contacted on (01) 5240410.
