FAO and EU are launching investment grant programme for farmers from west of Ukraine

Introductory webinar for potential programme participants will be held at 10:00 on 22 December 2022

With the support of the European Union, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is launching an investment grant programme, which will start with an introductory webinar “Grant Support for Micro and Small Producers of Agricultural Products” for small and micro producers in Lvivska, Ivano-Frankivska, Zakarpatska and Chernivetska oblasts.

In particular, producers of berries, vegetables and aquaculture products from Lvivska oblast, producers of the geographical indications “Hutsulska Sheep Bryndzya”, “Hutsulska Cow Bryndza”, Honey Zakarpattia and small winemakers from Zakarpatska oblast, producers of the geographical indications “Hutsulska Sheep Bryndzya” and “Hutsulska Cow bryndza” from Ivano-Frankivska and Chernivetska oblasts, can participate in the programme.

The participants of the webinar will be able to get more information about the grant support programme, the call for applications for which will start in mid-January. In addition, FAO representatives will help participants prepare business plans and will provide practical recommendations on how to fill out applications through the State Agrarian Registry.

The grant programme is part of a broader effort within the framework of the EU-funded project, and aims to support the functioning and strengthening of value chains in agriculture, fisheries and forestry, as well as to support their adaptation to the new environment. This is necessary to meet the food needs of the local and displaced population in the west and to address food insecurity in other parts of the country in the immediate and short term.
