Programme: Rural Development Programme

The impact of mechanization on the development of vegetable production is strongly pronounced, since few small farmers have the necessary equipment to significantly reduce labor-intensive processes and reduce production. Sub-measure 4.1.2 of rdp 2014- 2020 allows farmers to apply with a project proposal, be approved and receive grants to meet all necessary standards and requirements in order to be competitive and with good market orientation in the sector in which they develop. At present, Genoveva Ivanova processes the available agricultural land without hiring additional workers. He does not have agricultural equipment for carrying out the agrotechnical events, uses one on a friendly basis, from other farmers in the area. However, the lack of modern agricultural inventory creates a problem for proper agrotechnics of crops. The events are not implemented within the necessary deadlines and their quality is not always at the required level. In this regard, the farmer applied for support under the Sub-Measure for the purchase of an asset securing the needs of her holding. It amounts to BGN 14 160.00. with VAT, and the financial assistance under the Sub-Measures is expected to amount to 60% of the total eligible costs. To this end, Mrs. Ivanova has provided her own funds.
