Funding for Agricultural Marketing Measures

This funding program targets a wide range of organizations and institutions in Rhineland-Palatinate dedicated to improving the sales of agricultural products and food education. The funding aims to reach and support both primary agricultural producers and consumers.

The 'Funding for Agricultural Marketing Measures' program in Rhineland-Palatinate specifically supports projects that improve the sales of agricultural products and promote education about food and nutrition. This includes, among other things, participation in important industry events and the execution of promotional publications. Investments and personnel costs that do not directly serve the funding purpose are not funded.

Funding is granted as a subsidy for actually incurred, eligible costs. The amount of the grant can be up to 90 percent of the eligible costs, with a progressively scaled grant possible over a maximum of three years. The exact funding amount depends on the type of applicant.

Applicants must meet certain conditions to be eligible for funding. This particularly concerns compliance with the EU's SME definition and the exclusion of companies in difficulty. It is also important that the project has not yet started before the application has been submitted and reviewed.

The application procedure requires careful preparation and submission of complete documentation before the project begins. The responsible granting authority varies depending on the type of planned measure.

This funding program is based on a specific administrative regulation of the Ministry of Economy, Transport, Agriculture and Viticulture of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, which in turn relies on European regulations and state legal provisions. These regulatory frameworks ensure the legal legitimacy and framework for the allocation of funding.
