The funding for young farmers under the DR-12 intervention has been exhausted, with 2,078 applications submitted totaling over 380 million euros, far exceeding the available budget of 84.8 million euros. The session for the 'Other Sectors' component closed early due to high demand, while applications for the zootechnical sector remain open until December 2, 2026. Eligible farmers can receive up to 200,000 euros in non-reimbursable support, with funding rates varying based on age and category. Investments eligible for funding include agricultural equipment, modernization of farms, and processing units. The program is part of Romania's PAC Strategic Plan 2023-2027, funded by the EU and the Romanian state.
