IT streamlines the process of submitting the Romanian farmers’ applications for the European farm subsidies
During a conference held at the Ministry of Agriculture the online financing submission application for agricultural holdings modernization was launched, through the National Rural Development Program (APDRP) - Measure 121.
Technical and financial implementation of the National Rural Development Program 2007 - 2013 (NRDP), a program of the European Union supporting the member countries through Common Agricultural Policy, is provided by the Payment Agency for Rural Development and Fisheries (APDRP). The available funds for the modernization of agricultural holdings (Measure 121) are of EUR 150 million for project submitted during May 20th to July 18th 2014.
The IT solutions developed for APDRP by SIVECO and its partners support farmers and investors whom submit requests for non-reimbursable funds, streamlining the process of submitting the applications.
During the conference held at the Ministry of Agriculture, in the presence of the Prime Minister of Romania, the Minister of Agriculture and APDRP management, the steps that applicants must follow to submit the projects online were explained through an interactive demonstration.
The beneficiaries save time and money because they do not need to travel anymore to county offices of APDRP. Also the working procedures have been considerably simplified, while the time requested to submit funding applications has decreased.
Basically, after creating their own user accounts, applicants can upload documents at any time, without going to the offices and they have permanent access to their own file, to the funding application and to technical and administrative documents.
