Greece launches fertilizer subsidy platform for farmers

Greece has opened an online application portal for farmers seeking financial support to purchase fertilizers. The initiative, managed through the myBusinessSupport application of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE), is part of broader measures to bolster the primary agricultural sector.

Eligible recipients include individuals, legal entities, and organizations actively engaged in primary agricultural production who meet the criteria outlined in the joint ministerial decision. The subsidy will cover 15% of the net value of fertilizer purchases made between March 15 and August 31, 2026. However, the maximum subsidy amount per business is capped at 50,000 euros.

Applications must be submitted exclusively online via the myAADE portal (myAADE.gov.gr). Farmers need to navigate to the relevant section under Applications > Businesses > myBusinessSupport. Access requires personal TAXISnet codes. The submission deadlines are staggered: July 9-19 for invoices issued between March 15 and June 30, 2026, and September 7-17 for invoices issued between July 1 and August 31, 2026.

Payments for the subsidies are scheduled to be disbursed by July 27 for the first period and by September 25 for the second. Before submitting an application, farmers must ensure they have registered their payment account (IBAN) on the myAADE platform. This subsidy aims to alleviate the financial burden on farmers and support the continued production of agricultural goods.
