Farm Subsidies

Is orchard planting funded for everyone?

No, funding is granted competitively, subject to meeting criteria (land area, crop type).

What is the co-financing percentage?

In most programs, the state finances from 50% to 70% of costs (saplings, irrigation system).

Can I buy a tractor with a grant?

Yes, there is a co-financing program for machinery and implements that covers part of the cost.

What if the orchard withers?

If due to force majeure or improper care, the issue of repaying the funding may arise. Knowing contract terms is essential.

Farm subsidies and state grants are significant incentives for agribusiness development in Georgia. State programs like "Plant the Future," "Preferential Agro-Credit," and "Agro-Insurance" offer farmers co-financing for planting orchards, purchasing machinery, or setting up processing plants. However, obtaining funding involves complex bureaucratic procedures and meeting strict criteria. Incorrectly filled applications or flaws in land documentation often lead to funding refusal. Legal assistance ensures your application is complete and maximizes the chance of receiving funding.
