Background

The Government’s grant programme has been in place since 1 July 2022 and provides support for small and medium-sized businesses. Its benefits include the opportunity for everyone to start or develop their own business in the areas of “Own Business”, ‘‘Own Garden”, ‘‘Own Greenhouse” and ‘‘New Level”.

Grants are provided in the amount of no more than 70% of the project cost, but no more than UAH 10 million. The applicant must finance at least 30% of the project cost with their own or credit funds. A prerequisite is the employment of the required number of employees. For gardens, from 5 to 10 permanent and 125 to 425 seasonal workers, depending on the type of planting. For greenhouses, at least 4 permanent and 10 seasonal workers per hectare.

In August 2024, the Government expanded the terms of grants for the development of viticulture and horticulture.

Funding for agricultural producers under the Government’s eRobota programme in 2024-2025 is provided by the World Bank under the Ukraine Agriculture Recovery Inclusive Support Emergency (ARISE) Project.
