The call entitled “Support for individual knowledge transfer services” focuses on supporting individual advisors and advisory organizations that provide advisory services to farmers and other beneficiaries of CAP support in the form of individual advice.

According to Zsolt Feldman, expert advice conveys professional knowledge, research results, digital solutions and good farming practices to farmers

The key role of knowledge transfer lies in the need to expand professional and technological knowledge in the fields of agriculture, forestry and the food industry, promoting the development of farms and optimizing their productivity. The State Secretary emphasized that a maximum of HUF 214 million in support can be provided to individual expert advisers and expert advisory organizations, with a 100 percent support intensity. Farmers can use the supported expert advice free of charge in various subject areas, such as precision farming, organic farming, water management, irrigation development, and forestry. It will be possible to submit support applications from February 5, 2025 However, the supported activity can also be started earlier, as expert advice provided from December 7, 2024 can also be counted.
