Farmers have begun receiving their first grant payments following the resumption of the state support program. Since the onset of 2026, 14 enterprises have already raised UAH 70.8 million for the development of orchards, berry farming, viticulture, and greenhouse farming.

Specifically, 8 agricultural producers received UAH 38.8 million for the development of orchards, berry farming, and viticulture, while another 6 enterprises received UAH 32.0 million for the development of greenhouse farming.
