Department of Agriculture to provide €750,000 to support small family farms in Ukraine

Highly impacted and vulnerable households in frontline oblasts will be supported with poultry production kits consisting of 30 one-day-old chicks as well as animal feed and supplements. 

In Ukraine, the poultry sector is a significant contributor to rural livelihoods and incomes, with the meat and eggs playing a key role in household food security and nutrition. 

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine is providing €750,000 in funding to support up to 1,000 small family farms in Ukraine.

Minister Charlie McConalogue met today with the Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland Larysa Gerasko, to make the announcement.
