The PNS's Role in Empowering Young Romanian Farmers through the DR 30 Initiative

Romania's Approach: Supporting the Growth of Young and Newly Settled Farmers through DR-12 Intervention

This year, the long-awaited DR-12 intervention, a new addition to the National Strategic Plan 2023-2027, will finally be launched. This program will provide established young farmers with a financing amount of 200,000 euros per farm at an 80% intensity rate.

The Official Gazette has recently released the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) aid scheme, which aims to provide much-needed support to non-IT companies in Romania. This initiative is designed to help these companies partner with IT companies and embark on a digital transformation journey to enhance their competitiveness, promote innovation, and facilitate the adoption of new work methods.

In the regions undergoing a just transition, micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can receive grants ranging from 200,000 to 8 million euros for projects aimed at mitigating the negative effects of polluting industrial activities. These grants will be provided as regional state aid and de minimis aid. The "Development of Enterprises and Entrepreneurship" program, specifically the component for "Investments for the development of SMEs promoting sustainable growth and job creation," is currently accepting project proposals through the MySMIS2021 online portal.
