Economic transformation of the Agricultural Sector

The Greek Recovery and Resilience Plan includes major investments in the agricultural and rural development sector. The projects that will finance the agricultural sector aim at its modernisation and improving the sector's resilience. They include a series of investments that will strengthen the development, will improve connectivity and will achieve financial and digital transformation as well as increasing 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 project. The project will cover mostly collective groups and SMEs that will invest in innovation and green and digital transformations, contributing to the sustainability and competitiveness of the Greek agricultural sector.
