ARiMR offers 86 million PLN for farm food processing

The Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR) has announced a funding program exceeding 86 million PLN aimed at farmers looking to process food within their own farms. The initiative is part of the Strategic Plan for the Common Agricultural Policy 2023-2027, specifically focusing on the development of value chains within farms.

Eligible applicants include farmers, their spouses, and household members who intend to start or expand food processing activities. This includes both those engaged in retail agricultural trade (RHD) and those involved in marginal, local, and limited (MOL) activities. Micro-entrepreneurs involved in processing agricultural products may also apply, though under different regulations.

Financial support is provided via lump-sum payments of 30,000 PLN, 60,000 PLN, or 120,000 PLN, depending on the scope of the investment. These lump sums cover up to 65 percent of eligible costs. The application period is currently open and is scheduled to close on November 2.
