Ukraine Secures ₴1 Billion Boost for Farmers

Third ARISE tranche funds land, livestock, and rural-development subsidies through July

Key Figures

  • Three targeted subsidies now being paid out:

    • Per-hectare land support

    • Cattle (cow) maintenance subsidy

    • Goat and sheep maintenance subsidy


What the Money Supports

1. Per-Hectare Land Subsidy

Promotes diversification and resilience in small-scale livestock operations.

“Small producers are the backbone of Ukraine’s food security. This aid underpins sustainable rural development and our wider agrarian policy,”
Vitaliy Koval, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food
