Ukrainian frontline farmers to receive 7,275 tonnes of free fertilizers

Ukrainian farmers from frontline regions will receive free fertilizers from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). A total of 7,275 tonnes of fertilizers will be delivered to them, with each farmer receiving approximately 2 tonnes of urea, according to the "Latifundist".

Over 3,300 farmers from Ukrainian frontline regions will receive free fertilizers from the United States Agency for International Development. As part of the AGRI-Ukraine initiative, the U.S. government has decided to provide free mineral fertilizers for fieldwork in the 2024/25 season.

Farmers from frontline areas previously occupied and experienced the effects of warfare will benefit from this assistance. Ukrainian farmers will receive as much as 7,275 tonnes of fertilizers as part of this initiative. Each farmer approved as a beneficiary of this assistance will receive up to 2 tonnes of urea, depending on their land size.

Applications for support are being accepted remotely through the State Agricultural Register (DAR) from 11 June to 25 June 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 tonne of fertilizer each. Cultivating between 25 and 500 hectares can count on two tonnes of fertilizers.
