The State Agrarian Register has been launched in Ukraine

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine launched the online platform State Agrarian Register (SAR), which is now open for registration for all Ukrainian farmers. In the near future, the first assistance programs for small farmers who grow agricultural crops or keep cows will appear in SAR, according to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, writes agronews.ua.

As noted, SAR (dar.gov.ua) is the only digital hub for agricultural producers of Ukraine. The platform works similarly to registers of agricultural producers that exist in all EU member states. Agricultural producers registered in SAR will be able to apply for state subsidies, targeted, subsidized credit programs, as well as loans and technical assistance from the EU and other international donors.

“Soon, the first support programs will appear in SAR thanks to the financial assistance of the European Union. We call on all international partners to join the SAR platform in order to support agricultural producers of Ukraine in a fast, transparent and safe way,” said Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solskyi.

As the Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine for Digital Development, Digital Transformations and Digitalization Denys Bashlyk specified, after spending only a few minutes on registration in DAR, farmers will be able to access information on available state support programs in real time and submit an application for them online from home or office. During registration, the farmer will also be able to check data about his activity, land plots, animals, etc. in his personal electronic account. For registration, a farmer needs only an electronic signature.

“Producers of agricultural products can register in SAR, regardless of size, organizational and legal form or areas of activity. After registration, all key information about the producer is automatically pulled into DAR and can be checked by the agricultural producer.

To apply for participation in the support program, an agricultural producer who meets the requirements of the program must fill out an online form, attach scanned copies of documents, if necessary, and sign the application with his qualified electronic signature. The application processing process can be tracked in a personal electronic cabinet in the DAR in real time,” the ministry concluded.
