Support for Farmers and Development of Sustainable Production
According to the published plan, FAO aims to mobilize $193 million to assist 240,000 rural families and small farming enterprises. This financial support is directed towards preserving livelihoods for the rural population and ensuring the resilience of production capacities. Planned activities include providing food for the most vulnerable categories of rural residents, restoring production assets, targeted rehabilitation of agricultural land, and promoting market-oriented and climate-adapted agricultural production.
Implemented Initiatives and Next Steps for FAO
Currently, FAO’s active project portfolio in Ukraine amounts to $25.9 million, of which $24 million has already been allocated for emergency response and operational recovery of the agricultural sector. Since the onset of the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation, with the assistance of FAO, support has been provided to over 300,000 families and nearly 17,000 small agri-food enterprises. The assistance included the supply of seeds, animal feed, generators, irrigation systems, and other necessary resources to ensure the stability of agricultural production.
