Summary
A business programme for agricultural producers, not a grant for NGOs. The state provides UAH 2-7 million to build a modular greenhouse of 0.4 to 2.4 ha, covering no more than 70% of project cost (80% in de-occupied and frontline areas).
About the call
The state eRobota programme funds the creation or expansion of greenhouse farms. The grant depends on area: UAH 2 million for 0.4-0.6 ha, UAH 3.5 million for 0.8-1.2 ha and UAH 7 million for 1.6-2.4 ha. The applicant covers the rest with own or borrowed funds.
Funds may cover greenhouse construction per the cost estimate, production equipment (heating, irrigation, lighting), seeds and planting material, delivery and commissioning. Construction must be completed within 12 months of receiving the funds, and the farm must operate for at least 3 years under monitoring by an authorised bank.
