Ukrainian Farmers Received Grants for the Construction of Nearly 120 Hectares of Greenhouses
The Ukrainian agricultural sector, despite numerous challenges, continues to develop actively. Within the framework of the state grant program, approximately 120 hectares of new greenhouse complexes have already been constructed in Ukraine. This allows for the supply of thousands of tons of fresh vegetables and berries to the domestic market, grown directly within the country.

State Support for Expanding Production
The “My Garden” program and grants for greenhouse construction have become key tools for farmers looking to expand their operations but lacking sufficient funding. In total, the state has already allocated over 915 million hryvnias for the establishment of new orchards and the creation of modern greenhouse complexes. An important condition for receiving a grant is the creation of new jobs and the payment of taxes, which stimulates the development of agriculture and fills the country’s budget.
The majority of financial support has been directed towards the establishment of new orchards; however, greenhouse projects are quickly gaining momentum and becoming increasingly popular among farmers. Grant recipients have the opportunity to modernize production, positively impacting the competitiveness of the industry.
Development of Horticulture and Berry Farming
In addition to greenhouse farms, the grant support program has also spurred the development of fruit and berry plantations. The total area of new orchards and vineyards established with state support has already exceeded 2,500 hectares. The most in-demand plantations are blueberries, hazelnuts, and apple trees.
“The geography of these projects covers almost the entire territory of Ukraine under control. This means that development is occurring not just locally in one region, but evenly across the country. Small farms are gradually transforming into serious players that can dictate terms even to large retail chains.”
The effective implementation of grant programs promotes the even development of agriculture throughout Ukraine and provides farmers with modern tools for further growth.
