USAID will provide UAH 270 million for the development of elevator capacities in Ukraine
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will provide up to UAH 270 million in co-financing for the development of Ukrainian elevator capacities.
The USAID AGRO program will support Ukrainian enterprises that provide services for drying, storage and processing of grain and industrial crops, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy reports.
The program envisages 10-15 co-financing projects with a budget of 18 to 36 million UAH each.
The projects will increase the volume and time of storage of grain and technical crops, which will allow agricultural producers to receive the necessary services on time and in the required volume. And the grain drying and finishing facilities will preserve the quality of the products. In general, this will contribute to business sustainability and improve food security in Ukraine, Minagro noted.
The USAID AGRO program encourages applications from Ukrainian companies and enterprises that provide services for the processing and storage of agricultural products, have elevator facilities, have developed or started to develop project documentation.
