About the call
On 21 June 2022 the Cabinet of Ministers approved non-repayable yeRobota grants for farmers covering horticulture, berry growing, viticulture and greenhouses. At the time, greenhouse grants were UAH 5-7 million per recipient and orchard grants UAH 300,000-400,000 per hectare (about 70% of planting costs). Funds are paid not in cash but to a bank account for transparent purchase of seedlings, equipment, irrigation and fertilisers.
The programmes are still running: according to the Ministry of Economy, in 2026 applications via Diia reopened on 2 February with a budget of UAH 465 million funded by the EU Ukraine Facility. Orchards of 1 to 25 ha can receive up to UAH 10 million per recipient; modular greenhouses of 0.4-2.4 ha up to UAH 7 million depending on area. In frontline and de-occupied areas the state covers up to 80% of the project cost. Recipients are sole proprietors and companies listed in the State Agrarian Register with land owned or used for at least 7 years.
