The government decided to extend until November 30 of the current year the deadline for registration of applications of farmers in the State Agrarian Register for receiving state aid, while increasing (by 100 million hryvnias) the total amount of support for farmers and other producers of agricultural products. This is reported by Ministry of Agricultural Policy.
Since September 1, 2022, i.e., the beginning of the implementation of the program, 13,960 applications have been approved for payment in the State Agrarian Register by order of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, which made it possible to distribute almost a billion hryvnias within one month.
The number of willing participants of the program is constantly growing and currently amounts to more than 33 thousand potential recipients of state support. Therefore, the adopted decision will allow more agricultural producers to receive funds.
Funds provided within the framework of the European Union aid programs to support business entities of the agro-industrial complex are used in the following directions:
- budget subsidy per unit of cultivated agricultural land (1 hectare) for agricultural activities;
- special budget subsidy for keeping cattle (cows) of all areas of productivity.
We remind you that only those producers of agricultural products who are registered in the State Agrarian Register and meet its criteria can participate in the program. After all, the distribution of support will take place only online through DAR.
Under the terms of the program, non-refundable aid can be received by farmers who have from 1 to 120 hectares of agricultural land or keep from 3 to 100 cows. The first can receive 3,100 hryvnias per hectare of cultivated agricultural land, but no more than 372,000 hryvnias. The second – UAH 5,300 for each cow owned by the recipient, but no more than UAH 530,000.
Important! The possibility of submitting applications will resume after the relevant resolution enters into force. Potential applicants are advised to check the information in DAR.
