Funding of up to 75% (increased from 50%) for enterprises and commercial projects will be a feature of a 2021 extension to the EU LEADER rural development programme.
Among those to benefit will be small food and beverage producers who need to address emerging challenges, such as responding to Brexit, and developing markets. They can apply to the LEADER Food Initiative which will support new and existing artisan, micro and small food producers, when details are announced in 2021.
