Private Storage Aid (PSA) schemes are administered by the Rural Payments Agency and help traders with the cost of putting products into storage. This helps to stabilise the market for a product if there’s a surplus and prices become weak.

The European Commission (EC) will decide if it’s appropriate to open a scheme.

Current schemes

At the moment there are no Private Storage Aid schemes open.

Products

Private storage aid schemes can be for:

  • white sugar
  • olive oil
  • flax fibre
  • beef
  • butter
  • cheese
  • skimmed milk powder (made from cows’ milk)
  • pigmeat
  • sheepmeat and goatmeat

Schemes will open depending on the market situation.
