Oleksii Sobolev: Government starts funding Made in Ukraine programmes in 2026

The Government has begun funding key state programmes for the development of the real sector of the economy for 2026. The corresponding decision on the allocation of funds from the special fund of the state budget for 2026 was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine at its meeting on 16 February. The funds will be directed towards implementing the policy to develop Ukrainian producers under Made in Ukraine and towards clearing Ukrainian land of mines.

“The Government has secured the necessary funding to ensure that all the instruments of the Made in Ukraine policy operate steadily throughout the year. Money for partial compensation of the cost of Ukrainian agricultural and industrial machinery, development of industrial parks and investment projects has already been approved. I therefore invite businesses to make active use of these opportunities. We are also allocating UAH 1 billion for humanitarian demining so that farmers can work their land safely,” noted the Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, Oleksii Sobolev.

Within the framework of the policy to develop Ukrainian producers under Made in Ukraine, the Government has provided funding for the following programmes:

• UAH 1.8 billion – for partial compensation (25%) of the cost of agricultural machinery and equipment produced by Ukrainian manufacturers. Thanks to the programme, around 5,000 farmers and food producers will be able to purchase new machinery at an affordable price, while its manufacturers will receive additional orders.
• UAH 1 billion – to stimulate the development of industrial parks. The state will continue to finance the construction of engineering and transport infrastructure and connection to networks for new production facilities.
• UAH 653.1 million – to support the implementation of investment projects with significant investments. The funds are intended to compensate investors for expenditure on developing infrastructure facilities.
• UAH 1.2 billion – to support domestic demand for Ukrainian goods and services through two programmes:
• UAH 700 million for the implementation of the National Cashback programme.
• UAH 475 million – for partial compensation to businesses and municipal enterprises of the cost of Ukrainian industrial machinery and equipment. The state will compensate 15% of the cost of wheeled, construction, municipal and special machinery, lifts, energy equipment, CNC machines, pumping units, and components for unmanned systems.

For security and land clearance:

• UAH 1 billion – for the Humanitarian Demining programme. The funds will go towards compensating the cost of purchasing demining services for agricultural land.

In total, around UAH 37 billion has been allocated in 2026 for the Made in Ukraine programmes.

Background

The policy to develop Ukrainian producers under Made in Ukraine was initiated by the President of Ukraine in February 2024. Its aim is to promote the development of domestic production of high value-added goods, attract investment into the real sector of the economy, and increase non-commodity exports.

In 2025, the implementation of the Made in Ukraine policy programmes contributed an additional 0.95 percentage points to GDP growth.
