Cádiz takes on all young farmers who meet the requirements

Young farmers and livestock breeders in the province who have applied for establishment aid to enter farming will receive the subsidy if they meet the requirements, including those who were on the reserve list. This was conveyed by the technical team at an event held this Monday, November 9, in Cádiz, according to the Delegation of the Government of the Junta de Andalucía. The meeting served to explain to the beneficiaries how to launch their business plan. The technical team provided guidance on the administrative procedures necessary to carry out the project and on how to manage the milestones and commitments acquired with the subsidy. The aid is aimed at individuals between 18 and 40 years old. To apply, a technically and economically viable agricultural activity plan had to be submitted. The subsidy includes a first payment at the time of receiving the granting resolution, which amounts to 25% of the total to be received. This advance allows young people to have liquidity to undertake the investments linked to their business plan. The young entrepreneur Lina Martín took part in the event, sharing her experience in the province's agricultural sector after being a beneficiary of aid for young farmers. These subsidies are part of the Strategic Plan of the Common Agricultural Policy (Pepac) and are co-financed by the European Union through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (Feader), the State and the Junta de Andalucía. The meeting was attended by the delegate of the Government of the Junta de Andalucía, Mercedes Colombo; the territorial delegate of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, Francisco Moreno; the provincial coordinator of the Andalusian Youth Institute, Silvia Rodríguez, and the head of the Rural Promotion Service of the Territorial Delegation of Agriculture, María Peña Mora. Colombo noted that generational renewal is "a real challenge" and encouraged young people to take advantage of the tools provided to them.
