Small food businesses have been awarded up to €557,408 in funding as part of LEADER programmes.
The funding was approved by Minister for Agriculture Michael Creed and Minister for Rural and Community Development Michael Ring.
“The range of approved projects reflects the diversity of food businesses operating throughout rural Ireland,” Minister Ring said.
Up to €15m will be provided under the LEADER food initiative over the next two years, with the aim of supporting food businesses in rural Ireland.
Minister Creed said that the funding was in line with Food Wise plans.
“The Food Wise strategy acknowledges the unique and important position and vital role of the small, micro and artisanal food sector in both the rural and national economy and its positive growth prospects,” Creed said.
“The funding provided for the Small Micro and Artisanal Food sector, through the LEADER mechanism, is critically important for these businesses to grow. I want to encourage other small, micro and artisanal food businesses to avail of this scheme into the future.”
