Small family farms that keep the cattle or cultivate the land will each receive $800 of fund money. Certain criteria will guide the selection of the participants in the funding program.
“That household will not necessarily have to have the official status of a sole proprietor or juridical person who’s involved in agriculture. So, the simple Ukrainian families who keep cattle or cultivate the land can be engaged in the project,” noted the deputy director of the Department of Economics and International Relations in the Kharkiv region military administration, Olha Shamaieva.
