Ukrainian agricultural producers can receive state compensation for the purchase of domestically manufactured agricultural machinery and equipment. Under the standard program, the state reimburses 25% of the cost of the machinery (excluding VAT), while a higher compensation rate of 40% is available for specific farms located near the front line. The program operates within the framework of the "Made in Ukraine" state policy.
What are the results of the program?
According to the Ministry of Economy, in June 2026, agricultural producers submitted 585 applications for compensation covering the cost of 1,423 units of Ukrainian-made machinery and equipment. The total value of these purchases amounted to UAH 838.3 million (including VAT), with the compensation requested totaling UAH 174.7 million.
For 2026, UAH 1.8 billion was allocated to the standard agricultural machinery compensation program. As of September 30, according to the Ministry of Economy, approximately UAH 1.747 billion in budget funds had been utilized. This indicates significant demand for the program; however, the availability of funding should be verified before submitting an application.
What kind of machinery is eligible for compensation?
The program covers various types of Ukrainian-made equipment for the agricultural sector, including soil tillage and sowing machinery, headers, grain cleaning systems, grain dryers, elevator equipment, conveyors, and truck scales. The primary requirement is that the specific model must be included in the official list maintained by the Ministry of Economy.
Who is eligible to receive compensation?
Agricultural producers registered in the State Agrarian Register.
Enterprises that meet the program’s requirements regarding agricultural activity and other criteria.
For 40% compensation: farms located in frontline territories that meet the established conditions regarding land location.
How to participate in the program?
Check if the machinery is included in the official list.
Purchase it from a manufacturer or dealer participating in the program.
Make the payment through an authorized bank.
Submit an application and the required documents for compensation through the same bank.
What does this mean for Ukrainian business?
The program helps agricultural producers reduce the costs of upgrading their technical equipment, while enabling Ukrainian machinery manufacturers to secure additional orders. At the same time, it supports the development of domestic production and demand for locally manufactured equipment.
For agricultural businesses, this offers an opportunity to plan farm modernization with the benefit of state support. Before purchasing machinery, it is advisable to check the current program terms and the remaining available funding.
