During a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on January 21, a mechanism for payments to farmers in Kherson region was agreed upon.
This was reported by MP Sergiy Kozyr on Facebook.
The government has approved a new financial support program, according to which farmers will receive UAH 4,700 for each hectare of land under cultivation. A limit has been set: the maximum area for which compensation will be paid to one farm is 2,000 hectares.
The full cycle of payments is scheduled to be completed by May 1, 2026. An official resolution with a detailed description of the assistance mechanism will be made publicly available in the coming days, which will launch the application process.
In addition, 40 greenhouses were installed for IDPs in the Tyahyn community. This will allow people who were forced to leave their homes to restore self-sufficiency in food and possibly get a source of income.
<b>Oleksandr Prokudin</b>, head of the Kherson Regional State Administration, reviewed the results of this project to support agricultural self-employment in the Tyahyn community, confirming the importance of the initiative.
Each of the 40 greenhouses provided to internally displaced persons has an area of 100 square meters and is fully equipped with an irrigation system. In addition, the benefactors provided the IDPs with the necessary seeds and fertilizers so that they could immediately start their own business and ensure their food independence.
This project was implemented with the support of the local authorities, the Kherson Regional Development Agency, and, to answer the previous question, the Ranok Vidrodzhennia charitable foundation. Oleksandr Prokudin emphasized that the success of the initiative is planned to be scaled up to create an agricultural service cooperative. This step is intended to open up new opportunities for sustainable development of the community and the agricultural sector of the region as a whole.
