Malta is the EU's smallest agricultural market: the CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027 is worth about EUR 166 million for the whole period, of which roughly EUR 21.3 million is allocated to resilience and digitalisation investments. The system has two heads: the paying agency ARPA (Ministry for Agriculture) handles area applications, direct payments and national schemes and publishes notices in the Public Announcements/Calls section of its website, while the Strategic Plan's investment interventions are run by the Managing Authority at the Ministry for European Funds and published on the single EU funds portal fondi.eu. Farm investments run almost entirely through intervention I73.5.1 On-Farm Productive Investments, opened in periodic batches several times a year rather than continuously. As at 27 August 2026 no investment session is open: the last one closed in June 2026.
The Guidance Notes for intervention I73.5.1 set three cumulative requirements for the applicant: being registered as a farmer in the IACS database of the Maltese Department of Agriculture, holding a Maltese VAT number and, for natural persons, being registered with Jobs Plus as a farmer. The holding must also exceed minimum economic viability thresholds: EUR 15,000 of Standard Output for livestock farms, 0.3 hectares for open-field arable crops, 0.5 hectares for vineyards and olive groves, 50 registered hives for beekeeping, with greenhouses counting as the equivalent of 50% of the outdoor area. Both natural persons and legal persons are eligible, including associated forms (partnerships and cooperatives). In practice an Italian business must have a Maltese entity holding the farm, registered in IACS and with a Maltese VAT number; the agricultural area must be registered in the applicant's name in IACS. Applications are submitted exclusively through the IACS online portal.
