Eligible investments will meet at least one of the following three priorities, corresponding to at least one of the objectives referred to in Article 4 of the agricultural exemption Regulation:

ensuring more environment-friendly farming practices,

enhancing product value, by collective or individual quality measures,

improving the working and reception conditions for farm workers on holdings, in particular for safety reasons.

Construction and/or fitting out of premises for plant-health products.

Investments in organic farming or to achieve sustainable-farming certification, etc.

Investments to move towards quality-orientated production

The purchase of IT equipment or other equipment to ensure product traceability, obtain official quality certification, guarantee product safety, ensure parcel monitoring, etc.

Investments to enhance product value in the eyes of the consumer

Creating a storage-packing unit.

Creating a sales unit on premises closely integrated with the rest of the holding.
