PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARIAT FOR EU FUNDS AND SOCIAL DIALOGUE

MINISTRY FOR EUROPEAN AFFAIRS AND EQUALITY

ANNOUNCEMENT

Measure 4.2: Support for investments in processing/marketing and/or development of agricultural products

Measure 6.4: Support for investments in creation and development of non-agricultural activities

The Director General of the Funds and Programmes Division, within the Parliamentary Secretariat for European Funds and Social Dialogue has today announced the pre-launch of two new schemes under the Rural Development Programme.  

Measure 4.2 ‘Support for investments in processing/marketing and/or development of agricultural products’ has the aim to support farmers and processors in adding value to primary products or in developing new products, and/or opening up new markets.  

Farmers and other businesses and entities active in the agricultural and processing sectors are eligible for support under this measure. Beneficiaries will receive 50% of the total eligible project costs.  Projects must result in a benefit to the local agricultural sector.

The other scheme, measure 6.4 ‘Support for investments in creation and development of non-agricultural activities’ has the objective to stimulate the rural business environment, to contribute to an increased number of non-agricultural activities carried out in rural areas as well as to develop existing non-agricultural activities, create jobs, increase the income of the rural population and alleviate rural-urban disparities.  Beneficiaries will receive 50% of the total eligible project costs. 

Support under the latter measure is targeted to farmers, farm family members and other rural entrepreneurs intending to diversify their main economic activity or to start a new economic activity by investing in non-agricultural activities with the aim to increase their income and to create occupational alternatives. 

The indicative budgets for measures 4.2 and 6.4 are €4.7 million and €7.7 million respectively. This will bring the total budget allocation for issued calls to €95 million. This investment is key to the government’s mission to facilitate better quality and sustainability in the local agricultural sector.  

An emphasis on maximum transparency and an even level playing field for all is being placed on these measures.  The measure guidelines and application forms will be made available on the Managing Authority’s website shortly.  Any interested applicants are invited to register their interest via e-mail on (rdd.meae@gov.mt), indicating the measure/s they are interested in. The MA shall invite registered interested applicants for an information session to be held at a later date.

Measure 4.4: Support for non-productive investments linked to the achievement of agri-environment-climate objectives

The Managing Authority would like to notify that Measure 4.4 will close on the 11th September, 2018. Unless otherwise notified, no applications will be accepted after this date.
