The State Agricultural Register (DAR) has started accepting applications for the third grant cycle under the program funded by the European Union and FAO. The application period will last until January 24, 2025.

Ukraine's Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food Vitaliy Koval reported this. He noted that the program aims to support the Ukrainian agricultural sector and increase its competitiveness.

'Thank you to the FAO and the European Union for their support! It provides our farmers with the tools, knowledge, and resources necessary to overcome urgent challenges, modernize production, and build resilient and sustainable agri-food systems,' emphasized Vitaliy Koval.

Grants will be paid in hryvnias according to the UN exchange rate. The distribution of grants includes two categories:
