The government is introducing a procedure and mechanism for identifying areas of risky farming. This will allow state support to be provided to farmers working in difficult conditions.
As Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko noted, such territories will be identified based on two key criteria:
- Climatic conditions — critical level of productive moisture in the soil (confirmed by laboratory tests).
- Consequences of hostilities — land plots near the border with the aggressor state, the line of contact, or contaminated with explosive objects.
What agricultural producers need to do:
- Be registered in the State Agricultural Register.
- Submit an application via the electronic office for land plots by July 1.
- In case of moisture deficiency — add a laboratory report.
The lists of lands are formed by the OVA.
Final approval will be given by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine by August 31.
For areas affected by hostilities, the determination will be made automatically based on data from state registers — without the submission of additional certificates.
After the lists are approved, agricultural producers will be able to receive state support, according to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
