The agricultural sector of Ukraine’s frontline regions will receive international assistance
The Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with the financial support of the Government of Norway, are launching a large-scale program to assist rural communities in frontline regions. The total budget of the initiative is $4 million.
The project is aimed at restoring the agricultural sector and will cover more than 6,000 households in Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolaiv regions. The main focus of the program is to support the most vulnerable categories of the population, in particular internally displaced persons, as well as people who have returned to their homes after forced displacement.
The assistance is aimed at ensuring food production and creating conditions for farmers to return to stable and profitable activities in the field of crop and livestock farming. A separate direction involves restoring access to agricultural lands in the Mykolaiv region that were contaminated with explosive objects.
The program plans to provide more than 4 thousand rural households with vegetable and potato seeds, as well as support about 1,900 families engaged in livestock farming. They will be provided with sets of daily-aged young poultry, as well as financial assistance for feed and veterinary services.
In addition, small farmers registered in the State Agrarian Register will be able to receive individual support in the form of greenhouses, irrigation and water storage systems, vouchers, and technical assistance.
The start of assistance is scheduled for spring 2026. Registration of participants will be carried out by territorial communities, and the start of registration and practical implementation of the program will be announced separately.
