Support for Rural Families and Farmers

According to the plan, the FAO aims to mobilize $193 million to assist 240,000 rural households and small farmers. The main goal of the initiative is to ensure the resilience of income sources and production capacities for Ukrainian agrarians. It is planned to implement comprehensive measures for food production for the most vulnerable segments of the rural population, restore production resources, target rehabilitation of agricultural land, and develop market-oriented and climate-resilient production.

Emergency Assistance and Results from Previous Years

In 2026, the active FAO portfolio in Ukraine amounts to $25.9 million, of which $24 million has already been allocated for emergency response and recovery activities. Since the beginning of the full-scale aggression by the Russian Federation, the organization has provided support to over 300,000 families and about 17,000 small agri-food enterprises. Assistance included the supply of seeds, animal feed, generators, irrigation systems, and other critically important resources.
