Up to PLN 200 000 in subsidies for farmers - how to get funding and what can it be used for?

Beneficiaries of the programme can be individual farmers who run agricultural holdings in Poland. The programme is open to farms of up to 300 ha that require modernisation to meet modern market challenges. Grants are available for both young farmers who are just starting out and more experienced farm owners who want to invest in new technologies.

In addition, groups of farmers (minimum of three) are also able to apply for financial support.

1. Reimbursement of part of the eligible costs incurred (e.g. purchase of machinery, equipment),
2. Established standard unit rates (this applies to manure slabs and slurry tanks).

The subsidy applies to investments with total costs exceeding min. PLN 20 000.

What is subject to co-financing for farmers?

• Plastic tanks for liquid manure or slurry
• Above-ground water retention tanks
• Underground water retention tanks
• Rainwater harvesting and management systems
• Fertiliser storage tanks

How to obtain the subsidy?

• to maintain the continuity of the investment for 5 years after obtaining co-financing; the equipment cannot be sold during this period
• to maintain 85% of the average annual livestock and agricultural area; the base year is the one in which the application is submitted

Once the application has been submitted, ARMA assesses it and then informs the farmer of the decision. If the application is successful, a subsidy agreement is signed and the funds are paid into the beneficiary's account.
