(ANSA) - BELGRADE - The European Commission has adopted the
rural development program (IPARD) for Serbia on the proposal of
the Serbian Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental
Protection, which paves the way for the EU support to Serbia's
agricultural sector over the next six years.
The budget, which totals EUR 175 million, will be at disposal of Serbian farmers in the form of grants for co-financing of certain investments. This should lead to the total investments in this sector of around EUR 400 million.
The main goals of the program are increasing food safety in Serbia, promoting competitiveness of the agricultural production and processing sector in Serbia and helping Serbia get gradually harmonized with the EU standards.
The EC adopted the rural development program for Serbia envisaging support for producers of milk, meat, fruit and vegetable and other crops, agricultural producers introducing organic production methods and development of private capacities in the domain of rural tourism. (ANSA).
