The government is preparing compensation for farmers for crops lost due to the war
In 2026, the Cabinet of Ministers plans to introduce a mechanism for verifying crops that farmers have lost or had damaged due to hostilities. Compensation payments are to be provided to affected agricultural producers.
In 2027, the government plans to expand the program to cover cases of crop damage or loss caused by man-made and natural disasters.
A separate objective for 2027 is to introduce a mechanism for utilizing agricultural land lease rights to lift the ban on foreclosure on lease rights and to use lease rights as collateral for agricultural promissory notes.
Regarding access to state support, the program provides for the implementation of existing and new support programs through the State Agricultural Register (DAR) in 2026–2027.
It is anticipated that in 2027, at least 80% of government support for the agricultural sector will be provided through the SAR.
The government also plans to ensure the full-scale operation of the Paying Agency’s certification body in 2027 and to introduce an integrated administration and control system, as well as a data system for the sustainable development of agriculture at the national level.
