The applicant of this project is a 38 years old farmer who meets the minimum requirements in terms of education, by graduating the Melle Agricultural College in the year 1990. Between 1990 and 2008 he supported his father in the development of the farm activity. In 2008, when his father retired, the young man took over the agricultural exploitation. The development of the business was made by introducing new cultivation technologies for vegetables and plants used in the pharmaceutical industry and trading them on a larger scale. The farmer received the approval from his father for taking over the business and he received financing from the Agriculture Investment Fund, as a capital incentive and as a subvention. The labor force employment in the field of agriculture in the area is continuously decreasing, as less than 1% of the working population activates in agriculture. However, agriculture is an essential part of a regional agro-food complex. Preserving an important number of viable agricultural enterprises is essential for the prosperity of the agro-food sector.
