Over 3,300 farmers from Ukrainian frontline regions will receive free fertilizers from USAID. The U.S. government, as part of the AGRI-Ukraine initiative, has decided to provide free mineral fertilizers for fieldwork in the 2024/25 season.
The beneficiaries of this assistance will be farmers from frontline areas previously occupied and experienced the effects of warfare. Ukrainian farmers will receive as much as 7,275 tons of fertilizers as part of this initiative. Each farmer approved as a beneficiary will receive up to 2 tons of urea, depending on their land size.
Fertilizers for farmers on the front line
Support applications are being accepted remotely through the State Agricultural Register (DAR) from June 11 to June 25 until supplies are exhausted. Free fertilizers will be available to farmers with between 5 and 500 hectares of grain or oilseed crops. This assistance applies to Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson, and Chernihiv regions.
The beneficiaries will be family farms, individual entrepreneurs, and legal entities. Farmers who cultivate between 5 and 25 hectares of land (owned and leased) will receive one ton of fertilizer each. Cultivating between 25 and 500 hectares can count on two tons of fertilizers.
