NAK helps its members planning small-scale investments with free application writing

In order for as many small farmers as possible to successfully apply for the call for investment support for small agricultural enterprises, which will be available soon, the National Chamber of Agriculture is launching a new service. NAK village economists will prepare applications for free and submit them electronically with a chamber authorization. To use the service, clients must conclude a contract with the relevant village economist, which clarifies the tasks and responsibilities of both parties.

Applications can first be submitted in two rounds in the spring, between March 5 and 18 and between March 19 and April 1. The National Chamber of Agriculture encourages all interested parties to visit their village economist and use the application advice. It is important that not all village economists are involved in writing applications, but there will be village economists in every county who prepare and submit applications. The free service is therefore available in every part of the country.

The first step in submitting an application is a personal consultation, where the village economist informs the client about the details of the call and helps determine whether the client is eligible to submit an application for support. The client must decide which target area to designate in the application based on the type of investment they want to implement. After that, the list of documents required for submitting the application for support is agreed with the village economist, based on which the applicant obtains the necessary documents and certificates. The village economist checks whether all necessary documents are available, and then – after signing the contract – prepares the business plan and fills out the application form. After the client’s approval, the village economist submits the application for support with chamber authorization, along with the annexes and other documents to be attached.
