BENEFICIARIES

An economic operator cultivating up to 100 hectares (inclusive) of agricultural land may be considered a beneficiary of the program.

The objective of the program is to increase the level of food security by expanding the sown areas of spring grains, legumes, and perennial grasses, enhancing the efficiency of their cultivation, and increasing gross agricultural output. The program also aims to improve the qualitative characteristics of agricultural lands. The program is scheduled to be implemented in 2024 and will cover all regions (marzes) of the Republic of Armenia.
To increase productivity, it is envisaged that sowing will be carried out exclusively with certified seeds, and up to 50% of the costs for the main activities per hectare (plowing, sowing, harvesting, and seed) will be compensated. The compensation will be provided within the following limits:

  • For each 1 hectare of spring grains: AMD 70,000

  • For each 1 hectare of maize: AMD 85,000

  • For each 1 hectare of legume crops: AMD 100,000

  • For each 1 hectare of perennial grasses (alfalfa, sainfoin): AMD 110,000
