With regard to the support for individuals and farmers, there will be some categories that may be beneficial, both from the state budget and from donors.
In total, it is estimated that only about 2 million euros will be invested by the Ministry of Agriculture. Program “100 villages” has become part of the strategy of the Ministry of Agriculture for the period 2018-2020.

The government has decided to exploit the agri-tourism potential of the country as a good opportunity for stimulating development of the rural areas, farms and businesses there.

The program targets at coordinating development interventions into the rural space of 100 villages according to an inter-sectoral approach doing away with the partial interventions.
