Ukrainian agricultural producers will receive additional financial support from the state in 2025. The program “Financial Support for Agricultural Producers” provides for reimbursement of up to 25% of expenses incurred for the construction or reconstruction of livestock farms, milking parlors, as well as facilities for processing by-products of animal origin. Payments apply to projects implemented from February 24, 2022, to September 30, 2025. For these purposes, 1 billion hryvnias has been allocated in the state budget for the next year.

State Compensation for Farmers
The reimbursement of part of the expenses will serve as a significant incentive for the development of livestock and processing industries, which is especially relevant in the context of a full-scale war and a challenging economic situation. The state aims to support producers who invest in modernization and expansion of production capacities, as well as to promote the preservation and creation of jobs in rural areas.
“Farmers who have built or reconstructed livestock farms will have their expenses reimbursed by the end of 2025.”
Expansion of the List of Equipment Eligible for State Compensation
In addition, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine has updated and expanded the list of industrial equipment and machinery produced domestically, the purchase of which entitles buyers to a 15% reimbursement of the cost. The list has been supplemented with 92 new items, including transformers of various capacities, truck-mounted cranes, bridge cranes, as well as demining machines. The list now includes 656 items from 28 Ukrainian enterprises.
These changes will allow farmers not only to update their equipment fleet but also to stimulate the development of domestic machine engineering and the provision of modern technologies to the agricultural sector.
