Horticulture Development Scheme

The Horticulture Development scheme is a capital grant scheme available to existing commercial horticultural producers across Wales. The aims of the scheme are to:

• Support existing producers to develop their businesses through investment in new equipment and technology that offer clear and quantifiable benefits to the horticultural enterprise.
• Enable horticultural businesses to sustainably expand production, diversify into new crops, improve production efficiency and enhance product quality.
• Enable horticultural producers to enter new markets.
• Increase local employment and support the rural economy as part of the green recovery from coronavirus (COVID-19).

The scheme is discretionary. The amount of grant offered would relate to individual circumstances and would always be the minimum amount necessary to allow the investments to go ahead.
