The Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan supports major investments in the agricultural and rural development sector, aiming at the modernisation and improved resilience of the industry. The projects financed include infrastructure investments that will strengthen the development, improve the connectivity and achieve financial and digital transformation as well as increased productivity in the sector. In this context, strong incentives will be given to private investments for green and digital transformation of businesses, the enhancement of innovation and their extroversion.

The programme is linked to the ongoing reform to support collective schemes in order to address the structural issues of the primary sector (small and fragmented land parcels for instance).  

It is estimated that more than 520 projects in the primary sector throughout Greece and with a total budget of more than EUR 1 billion will be funded through this programme. It will cover mostly collective groups and small and medium-sized enterprises that will invest in innovation, and green and digital transformations, contributing to the sustainability and competitiveness of the Greek agricultural sector.

It is implemented through 6 actions:

  • Innovation and green transition on processing agricultural products
  • Modernization of primary sector
  • Green rural tourism
  • Cultivation restructuring
  • Animal genetic improvement 
  • Proposals for actions in the Aquaculture Sector
