Original title (RO): DR-12 - Investiții în consolidarea exploatațiilor tinerilor fermieri instalați și a fermierilor cu vârsta de până la 45 de ani

The window is not open yet. The call is already published: applications are accepted from 15 September 2026. This is the time to prepare the paperwork.

What it funds

Grant intervention to consolidate the holdings of already installed young farmers and of farmers up to 45, including those previously funded under sub-measure 6.1 of the 2014-2020 RDP. Budget EUR 169,589,647, maximum support EUR 200,000 per project. Intensity is up to 80% of eligible costs for farm heads aged 40 or under and up to 65% for the other eligible categories. Maximum implementation period 3 years, followed by 5 years of monitoring. The applicant guide went to public consultation on 19 March 2026 (10 calendar days).

Who can apply

Farm heads who are young farmers (maximum 40 years old) or farmers up to 45, including former beneficiaries of RDP sub-measure 6.1.

Notes and caveats

CAUTION: the 15 September 2026 opening date comes from the MADR announcement relayed by the trade press and is NOT yet confirmed by an AFIR session notice; as of 27 August 2026 DR-12 does not appear in the session list on depunerepspac.afir.ro. No closing date has been announced. The January 2026 MADR calendar had scheduled an April 2026 launch, so the measure has already slipped at least once. Check afir.ro/instrumente/sesiuni before preparing an application.
