Agri-Value Chain Growth Fund

For agri-food processors and cooperatives in Palestine ready to scale production and reach new buyers.

The window

What this call funds

Palestinian agri-food producers rarely fail on quality. They fail on volume, on certification, and on the distance between a good product and a buyer willing to sign for it every year. This window funds all three at once.

Grants of €10,000 to €50,000 cover processing equipment, cold chain, food-safety certification, packaging and labelling, and the export documentation that turns a shipment into a contract. Cooperatives are explicitly eligible and are assessed on the number of member households the investment reaches.

Before you start

Who this is for

Both sides of the line, on one screen. If you fall outside it, another window will fit better — and we would rather you found that out here.

This call covers

  • Registered in Palestine, trading for at least 24 months
  • Between 10 and 250 employees, or a cooperative with at least 15 members
  • Processing, packing or adding value to an agricultural product
  • Audited or accountant-prepared accounts for the last two years
  • A named buyer, distributor or market the investment is aimed at

This call does not cover

  • Primary production — planting, livestock or land improvement alone
  • Working capital, stock purchase or debt refinancing
  • Buildings and civil works beyond installation of funded equipment
  • Certification renewals already budgeted for in normal operations

Asked before

Questions from the last round

The questions applicants actually sent us, answered in the same words we sent back.

We are a cooperative, not a company. Are we eligible?

Yes, provided the cooperative is registered and has at least 15 active members. We assess how many member households the investment reaches.

Does the grant cover certification costs?

Yes — food-safety, organic and export certification are all eligible, including the consultancy needed to pass the audit.

Can equipment be bought from outside Palestine?

Yes. Import duties and clearance costs are eligible where they are unavoidable and evidenced.

How is the grant paid?

In tranches against agreed milestones — typically 40% at contracting, 40% on delivery and installation, 20% on completion.
