Applications to support Organic Production Mode Certification open
The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Food, through the Regional Directorate for Rural Development, informs that applications to support Organic Production Mode Certification are open until October 25. Expenses incurred with the procurement for the provision of services with a certification body for the year 2023 are eligible under this support measure. According to the Regional Secretary for Agriculture and Food, António Ventura, the Regional Government defined "the creation of policies aimed at the agricultural sector focusing on mechanisms to enhance the quality of products using organic methods" as one of its goals. In this regard, he continued, ‘it is essential to promote producers' access to more selective and differentiated markets, thus recognising the specific characteristics of companies in a remote archipelago" such as the Azores. "In this context, it is necessary to guarantee the quality of organic production and respect for biodiversity and the prevention of natural resources, through the application of demanding standards in production methods, aligned with consumer preference for products sourced using natural substances," he added. Applications and supporting documents or certificates of eligibility should be submitted electronically using the form available on the GestPDR portal (https://gestpdr.azores.gov.pt/), and authenticated with the assigned identification code. Alternatively, they can be submitted at the Agrarian Development Service, where the form will also be authenticated by the beneficiary.

Applications open for PRORURAL+ investment in farms
The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Food, through the Regional Directorate for Rural Development, informs that the period for the submission of investment projects under Measure 4 - Investments in Physical Assets, Submeasure 4.1 - Investment in Farms in the Rural Development Programme for the Autonomous Region of the Azores 2014-2020 (PRORURAL+) is now open until July 31. This programme is one of the support measures for the agricultural sector announced by the President of the Regional Government at the meeting with the president of the Azores Agricultural Federation, Jorge Rita, last June. The support under this notice falls within the goals of improving the technical, economic and environmental performance of farms to boost their competitiveness; contributing to the diversification of production; increasing the production of quality food and contributing to the rejuvenation of the sector as a lever to tackle unemployment by encouraging young people to settle in rural areas and creating jobs. This programme also aims to strengthen the competitiveness and viability of all types of farms in all regions, encourage innovative agricultural technologies and sustainable forest management, as well as to promote the efficient use of resources and support the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy in the agricultural, food and forestry sectors. Individuals or organisations engaged in the primary production of agricultural products can apply for the support measure, with projects in the following categories: micro-projects, with a proposed investment equal to or greater than €3,000.00 and equal to or less than €25,000.00; small projects, with a proposed investment greater than €25,000.00 and equal to or less than €100,000.00; and other projects, with a proposed investment (excluding VAT) greater than €100,000.00.
