When establishing new vineyards or expanding existing ones, the minimum required quantity of grapevine planting material is 500 plants.
According to the Mina Business agency, the deadline for submitting applications is October 31.
Eligible investments include the purchase of certified planting material, irrigation systems including water pumps, support elements for cultivation such as poles and wires, trellises for newly planted vines, as well as anti-hail and bird protection nets.
The minimum investment amount is 500 euros.
The maximum eligible investment is 10,000 euros, with up to 60 percent of the total eligible investment covered by government support, amounting to a maximum of 6,000 euros.
