Companies, cooperatives, consortia operating in the agricultural and agri-food sector, POs, commercial and / or industrial and / or distribution companies will be able to access the measure, individually or in association.

40% of the resources are reserved for the financing of projects to be carried out in the regions of Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Molise, Puglia, Sardinia and Sicily.

For the implementation of the measure, the Ministry will make use of the National Agency for the Attraction of Investments and Business Development, Invitalia SpA, which will take care of the receipt, evaluation and approval of the subsidy applications, the stipulation of the admission contract, the delivery, control and monitoring.

It is specified that all the details will be contained in the various Calls that will be issued in the coming months, after the European Commission has authorized the specific state aid scheme for this investment.
