In addition to the production of higher value-added products, the non-reimbursable grant can be used to develop a more competitive corporate, production and product structure, to develop capacity expansion based on product line cooperation, and to use technologies aimed at increasing energy self-sufficiency and reducing energy dependence, for example renewable by prioritizing energy sources.

Also opened on September 17, the call entitled “Support for the renewal of livestock farms” serves to improve the competitiveness of livestock farms, and also supports the enhancement of added value by financing smaller-scale developments, focusing on the development needs of smaller livestock farms. It is possible to create new buildings and structures, as well as to put into production the tools, machines, and technologies necessary for animal husbandry, and even to renovate and modernize the building energy and building machinery of animal farms, as well as to reduce energy consumption by using renewable energy. Developments that reduce the environmental burden of farms, reduce the risk of epidemic animal diseases appearing on farms, or animal welfare investments that go beyond general farm developments can also be supported with the help of this fund.
