CAP funding can be used to help public funding go further and make investing more affordable. This can be done through financial instruments offering reusable funds for Managing Authorities and low-cost loans or guarantees to agri-food investors. New video testimonials from Greece show how this can happen on the ground in practice.
Farmers and financial instrument experts are featured in the video from the European Commission’s fi-compass initiative about a EUR 80 million EAFRD-funded guarantee instrument that leveraged an additional 20 million euros from the European Fund for Strategic Investments (now InvestEU). Their testimonials confirm how improved access to finance and tailored conditions for agricultural and agri-food enterprises helped get new rural investment projects going in Greece during times of global crises.
