Agrifood – farm production and processing of agricultural products (Development Law, 2nd call)

In plain words

The state pays part of an investment in farm production or in a plant that processes agricultural products (buildings, machinery, equipment). Aid comes as a tax exemption, a cash grant, a leasing subsidy or a wage subsidy for new jobs. The catch: a minimum project of €50,000–€1,000,000 depending on size, 25% must be your own money or a bank loan, and projects are scored and ranked.

Who can apply

Micro, small and medium businesses for farm (primary production) investments; businesses of any size for processing agricultural products; social cooperatives, agricultural and urban cooperatives, producer groups, agricultural partnerships and sole proprietorships. Nationwide; in North, Central and South Athens only processing projects by SMEs.

What it pays for

Buildings and installations (up to 45% of the cost, 60% for greenhouses), machinery and equipment (tractors and farm machinery up to 40% of the cost), software and other intangibles, wages of new jobs for 2 years, and for SMEs consultants, trade fairs and energy upgrades. Fishing and aquaculture are NOT covered in this call.
