Learn about the new SME initiative under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in a recent publication of the advisory platform fi-compass.

The initiative is intended to boost investments in agriculture and forestry, as well as the rural economy by stimulating finance for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) – farmers and agribusinesses –  through the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs). It is a joint Financial Instrument of the European Commission, European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund.
