DR-18 - Investments in floriculture, medicinal and aromatic plants
Original title (RO): DR-18 - Investiții în floricultură, plante medicinale și aromatice
What it funds
Grant support for modernising farms specialised in flowers, aromatic, medicinal and ornamental plants. Eligible items include farm modernisation, technical equipment, irrigation systems, organic-fertiliser installations, renewable energy systems and on-farm access roads: this is the only AFIR session about to open in which on-farm irrigation is explicitly listed among eligible costs. Session from 1 September to 31 October 2026, budget EUR 5 million, maximum support EUR 100,000 per project.
Who can apply
Farmers excluding natural persons; agricultural cooperatives acting in their members' interest; producer groups and organisations recognised by MADR.
Notes and caveats
Budget and dates confirmed on the session list at depunerepspac.afir.ro. The budget is very small (EUR 5 million) relative to the per-project ceiling (EUR 100,000): selection will most likely be highly competitive and score-driven.
Status recalculated. The managing body’s portal listed this scheme as «in apertura», but the published deadline says otherwise. In such cases we go by the date.
