    Description
    Objectives

    The Framework Loan will co-finance investment schemes supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) within the Hungarian Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan (CAP SP) under the 2023-2027 EU funds programming period.

    The aim is to further improve the sustainable development of farming, food production and rural areas. It will also support investments in agriculture, processing, forestry, village infrastructure and small projects.

    Additionality and Impact

    By supporting the co-financing obligations in Hungary 2023-2027 under the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), the Project contributes to three of the EIB's primary policy objectives and to the horizontal policy objective of Economic and Social Cohesion. By supporting SMEs in the agricultural sector, the Project helps to ease financial constraints typically facing SMEs. The Project also supports rural development through a broad range of investments, including in basic rural infrastructure and services and moreover, it also contributes to the protection and sustainable use of natural resources. Overall it underpins the Hungarian CAP SP policy objectives of a green future, renewed countryside and sustainable economic development.
