Grants to the Chamber of Agricultural Workers and to the Chamber of Agriculture

From January 1, 2025, the state program of the Styrian state government will continuously grant subsidies to the Chamber of Agricultural Workers and the Chamber of Agriculture Styria. These annual allocations financially secure the tasks defined in the Styrian Agricultural Promotion and Chamber Expenses Act (StLWFöKaG). In addition to the support and advisory services for agricultural and forestry enterprises as well as individuals active in these sectors, the funding also covers the execution of other delegated tasks and special federal guidelines as well as state legal implementation provisions. The goal is the sustainable support of rural development and the strengthening of the regional agricultural structure through qualified advisory and financing services for agricultural practice.

Eligible for funding are exclusively the two chambers as public institutions in Styria. A prerequisite is the timely implementation of the assignments defined in the StLWFöKaG, active participation in the processing of funding within the specified scope, as well as the punctual submission of annual budgets, final financial statements, and proof of use. Applications can be submitted at any time and will be processed without fixed deadlines, provided the project start is from January 1, 2025. To be submitted are the annual budget, the final financial statement, and all required proofs of use. This funding offer supports the chambers in ensuring comprehensive advisory and service offerings for Styrian agriculture and forestry at a high level.
