The participants received detailed information about the program’s objectives, financing conditions, and areas of support.

The “State Agro Co-financing Program” became effective on July 1, 2026. The program brings together existing state support instruments across various sectors. It finances the establishment of perennial crops, greenhouse farms, livestock and poultry farms, beekeeping, aquaculture and mariculture farms, facilities intended for the slaughter of food-producing animals (slaughterhouses), as well as the establishment of processing and storage enterprises. Under the program, the Agency’s co-financing amounts to no more than 50% of the total project cost. For agricultural cooperatives, as well as projects implemented in villages adjacent to the occupation line and in high-mountain settlements, state co-financing amounts to no more than 55%.

It should be noted that registration in the Registry of Farms and Rural Enterprises is a mandatory requirement for participation in the program.
