Tilskuddsmidler for landbruket (RT-midler)

Agder fylkeskommune administers state funds for development in the agricultural sector, known as regional facilitation funds (RT-midler). The program provides grants for development and renewal of traditional agriculture, as well as support for developing other agriculture-based industries through development and mobilization initiatives. The program seeks projects that can demonstrate regional and district policy impact, have good quality with strong implementation capacity, and where the grant has a triggering effect for project implementation. Grants can cover up to 75% of project costs and are typically paid retrospectively, though advance payments of up to 50% may be available at project start. Projects must be directly linked to project realization and cannot cover operational costs or business development.
