We will remind that in the budget for 2021 laid 50 million UAH of the state support for producers of organic products. The amount of state support may increase due to the redistribution of funds from other government programs. The Ministry of Economy plans to distribute these funds as follows:

to provide financial support to producers of organic products in the amount of UAH 5,000 per 1 ha of cultivated land (but not more than 20 ha per farm);
per head of cattle;
in addition, farmers will be reimbursed up to 30% of the cost of certification of organic production.
