The National Chamber of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is helping its members planning small-scale investment projects with free application writing

In order for as many small-scale farmers as possible to successfully apply for the call for investment support for small-scale agricultural enterprises that will be available soon, the National Chamber of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is launching a new service. The NAK’s village economists are preparing applications for free and submitting 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 be submitted in two rounds in the spring, from March 5 to 18 and from March 19 to April 1.

The National Chamber of Agriculture encourages everyone involved to visit their village economist and take advantage of the application advice. It is important that not all village economists deal with application writing, but in every county there will be village economists who prepare and submit applications. The free service is therefore available in all parts of the country.

The first step in submitting an application is a personal consultation

Here, 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, 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 a chamber authorization, together with the annexes and other documents to be attached.

Based on previous experience, the small-scale application is expected to be extremely popular, and the call contains several innovations compared to the previous cycle

The maximum support amount of 10 million forints could represent a significant step forward for small-scale agricultural enterprises. The increased support could help small-scale enterprises increase their production capacities.
