Description
The investment agricultural funding in Hamburg strengthens the competitiveness of agricultural enterprises through grants for sustainable, environmentally and climate-friendly, as well as animal welfare-oriented investments. Funding is provided for durable assets in primary production, equipment for the processing and marketing of agricultural products, as well as diversification measures to develop additional income sources in rural areas. The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg financially participates in these projects within the framework of the joint task "Improvement of Agricultural Structures and Coastal Protection" (GAK). Applications can be submitted continuously before the start of the planned measures, with binding regulations governing the periods for the use of funded investments.
Eligible are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that generate at least 25% of their turnover from agricultural products and meet the professional and legal requirements. These include proof of professional qualifications, at least three years of prior bookkeeping, and, for an investment volume of 100,000 EUR or more, a five-year bookkeeping obligation. Cooperations must be documented by a cooperation agreement and a concept. Companies with more than 25% public ownership, enterprises in difficulty, or those with outstanding EU aid claims are excluded. The funding rate ranges between 25% and 50%, with additional bonuses possible depending on the type and scope of the measure. Eligible expenses include, among others, machinery, structural facilities, and supervisor fees within the scope of diversification. For the application, the BUKEA application form, proof of professional qualifications, and bookkeeping documents must be submitted. The Authority for Environment, Climate, Energy and Agriculture (BUKEA) supports interested parties throughout the entire process and ensures prompt processing.
