How support works here
Luxembourg is a small and fully centralised country: there is no regional level and all measures are national, defined by the 'agrarian law' of 2 August 2023 and the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 16 November 2023. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Viticulture holds political responsibility, the Service d'économie rurale (SER) is the paying agency, while investment and setup aid applications are processed by ASTA's Service des améliorations structurelles. The distinctive feature is that investment aid does NOT work through calls with windows: it is permanently open, with four assessment and selection cycles per year whose deadlines fall on the last day of February, May, August and November. All applications go through MyGuichet.lu with LuxTrust or eID authentication and require prior creation of a certified professional workspace. The Guichet.lu administrative portal publishes procedural pages in French, German and English, a rare advantage among the countries surveyed.
What an Italian business needs
The source requires the status of active farmer within the meaning of the loi du 2 août 2023, an age below 65 for natural persons and a minimum annual standard output of EUR 25,000; for legal persons the manager or partner must hold at least 40% of the capital. The application is submitted exclusively through MyGuichet.lu with LuxTrust or eID authentication and after creating a certified professional space, which presupposes a Luxembourg identification. The sources consulted do NOT explicitly state a residence or establishment requirement in Luxembourg for the applicant: this point is not verifiable from the open sources available in this session and must be confirmed directly with ASTA (Service des ameliorations structurelles, tel. +352 45 71 72 303).
