The State Agro Co-financing Program is implemented by the Rural Development Agency.

Within the framework of the program, preferential agrocredit is also available to finance fixed assets and working capital.

The program is available to registered individual entrepreneurs and legal entities engaged in entrepreneurial activities.

The total amount of the Agency's co-financing under the program is limited to no more than GEL 2 million. Farmers interested in establishing dairy farms benefit from separate conditions.

Within the framework of the program, the Agency's co-financing amounts to up to 50% of the total value of the submitted project. For agricultural cooperatives, as well as projects implemented in villages adjacent to the occupation line and in high-mountainous settlements, co-financing is available up to 55% of the total project value.

One of the mandatory prerequisites for participation in the State Program is registration in the Registry of Farms and Rural Enterprises.
