Sales Promotion of Agricultural Products and Quality Agricultural Products

This funding program targets stakeholders in Hamburg's agricultural sector who plan joint measures to improve the sales of agricultural products and quality produce. The goal is to strengthen economic activity in Hamburg's agricultural sector and increase value creation, particularly by promoting organically produced and GMO-free products.

The funding program supports a variety of measures that improve the sales and marketing of agricultural products and quality produce in Hamburg. These include participation in trade fairs, advertising campaigns, consulting services, and the development of regional marketing structures, with project-related personnel expenses also being eligible for funding.

Funding is provided in the form of a non-repayable grant and varies in amount and funding rate depending on the type of measure and the focus on quality products. Projects with a total volume of less than €2,500 will not be funded.

Various conditions must be met for a grant to be awarded, including the achievement of program objectives, the joint implementation of projects by at least three stakeholders, a viable economic basis for the project, and ensuring that the project would not be feasible without the funding. In addition, specific aid and budgetary regulations must be observed.

The application for funding must be filled out in writing and in detail, accompanied by all necessary evidence and financing plans. Submission must be made at least two months before the start of the project to the competent authority.

The funding program is based on the Directive on the Granting of Subsidies for the Promotion of Sales of Agricultural Products and Quality Agricultural Products of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, supplemented by various EU regulations and Hamburg's State Budget Ordinance.
