Eligible applicants
Under this Public Call, the European Union supports agricultural households that contribute to stabilising/strengthening production competitiveness and increasing the level of productivity of primary agricultural production through modernisation and the introduction of new technologies and innovations, improving product quality, hygiene and food safety, promoting good business practices and sustainable development through improvements in natural resource management, environmental protection, worker protection and food safety, and contribute to mitigating the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All projects related exclusively to agricultural sectors are eligible for investment support in primary agricultural production, such as production of milk, meat, cultivation of cereals and oilseeds, cultivation of fruit, including viticulture and olives, cultivation of vegetables, production of planting material (fruit seedlings, vegetable seedlings and seed potatoes), egg production, fish farming, growing herbs, medicinal plants, and mushrooms, as well as honey production.
