The Government of Montenegro has already allocated EUR 1.23 million of grants for 1,800 farmers from 21 municipalities for the development of tillage and vegetable farming, while the processing of requests for additional EUR 800.000 is ongoing, said Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Milutin Simović presenting the results during a working visit to the city municipality Golubovci.

At the press conference, DPM Simović presented the results of agribusiness measures to support investments in vegetable farming and direct payments in plant production.

As a result of one of the measures – a public call for support to vegetable farming – a total of 384 agricultural producers from 14 municipalities were supported, who invested almost EUR one million and received non-refundable support of EUR 415,000. Investments covered the purchase of seeds, seedlings, foils, while the support amounted to 40 to 50%. In Podgorica, 122 producers received EUR 125,000, or 30% of the total amount of support.

Presenting the results of the second measure of support to tillage and vegetable farming, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasised that the support was provided for 1,413 beneficiaries from 21 Montenegrin municipalities in the amount of EUR 815,000, and that support covers almost 5,000 hectares of crops.
