The EU4AGRI, EU4AGRI-Recovery and EU4BusinessRecovery projects have launched a public call for grants under a support measure to mitigate the negative impact of market disturbances and climate change in primary agricultural production.

The call aims to tackle the negative disruption to the market for raw materials in 2022 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. It also aims to help mitigate the effects of climate change on BiH’s agricultural and food sector, optimising operating costs, maintaining the productivity, liquidity and competitiveness of the country’s agricultural and food sector, and supporting the stabilisation of existing value chains from primary production to processing and product marketing.

This intervention support measure includes financial support for the procurement of mineral fertilisers, irrigation and sprinkling systems, including procurement of shading systems.

The call is open to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, craftspeople, entrepreneurs and cooperatives with an established network of subcontractors/ individual agricultural producers engaged in production, processing, purchase, storage and/or marketing of fresh agricultural and ready-made food products.
