The Council of Ministers approved a €25 million budget for the creation, modernisation, and digital upgrade of processing units for marketing agricultural products. This initiative is part of the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Plan, spanning from 2021 to 2026, aimed at supporting existing and new SMEs. Commerce Minister Giorgos Papanastasiou noted a €3 million saving from the first tender, which will be reinvested in the second tender. The application process for this sponsorship is entirely digital, facilitated through the Ministry of Energy, Commerce, and Industry’s electronic system. The program is open to companies, cooperatives, and beekeepers.
