193 projects have been submitted for nearly BGN 15 million (BGN 14 923 319) under the scheme "Aid for investment in tangible assets in agricultural holdings related to primary crop production". The reception took place in the period from 3 February to 28 February 2020 at the Regional Directorates of the State Agricultural Fund.

Of the 193 projects submitted, 160 were for fruit growers and gardeners, 28 for grain producers and 5 for mushroom, bean and lentil farms. 71 of the projects included investments for the construction of frost and hail protection facilities with a total amount of requested aid reported to be BGN 5 376 214 million.

The financial support under the scheme covers part of the cost of purchasing packaging machinery, lines for the preparation, cooling and storage of primary agricultural produce. With a decision of the Board of Directors of the Fund, the budget for 2020 under the scheme for investments in crop production was increased 4 times compared to last year and amounted to BGN 18.6 million. For the first time, farmers can apply for frost and hail protection facilities.

The overall budget of the scheme is optimally estimated and will be sufficient for all eligible applicants for admission in 2020, as well as for commitments under the 2019 admission contracts.

The applications submitted are subject to eligibility verification on the basis of the conditions and requirements set out in the scheme, as well as the approved limits and price caps.
