Funding requires the creation of at least five jobs and is provided on a co-financing basis: 50% by the state and 50% by the recipient, with the state covering 70% of the costs if Ukrainian equipment is purchased.
Grant amounts range up to UAH 8 million for development and up to UAH 16 million for restoration projects. Applications can be submitted via the Diia portal.
In 2026, the first 14 grants for orchards and greenhouses, totalling UAH 51.5 million, have also been approved. The Prime Minister noted that funding will soon be distributed to local communities.
The funds will be used to develop orchards, berry cultivation, viticulture, and greenhouse farming, including the establishment of new orchards and construction of modern greenhouse complexes.
This initiative is expected to increase the production of fruits and vegetables and strengthen local economies.
