Description
The proposed project will support the implementation of specific, long-term orientated measures identified by Hungary’s New Rural Development Programme for the 2007-2013 programming period and will focus on improving the competitiveness of the agricultural sector by supporting small-scale rural and agricultural infrastructure.
Objectives
The project will generate economic benefits in terms of employment, rural development and support to SMEs. The project will contribute to EU policy objectives in the fields of climate change, biodiversity protection and soil management. As the schemes are spread out in the country, the project will also support development in less-developed regions.
