With a simplified procedure , new regional aid is available for Sardinian breeders for the purchase of Sardinian breed sheep (rams) and male and female pigs registered in the genealogical books.

The Regional Council, on the proposal of the Agriculture Councillor Gianfranco Satta , has approved two resolutions that have been eagerly awaited by the sector , which update and modify the previous implementing directives approved in 2022. There are several changes, with new features aimed at simplifying procedures and providing incentives for investments by livestock farms to genetically improve their livestock. " For pigs, this is the first time that contributions have been recognised for the purchase of male and female Sardinian breed animals to improve the genetic heritage of livestock farms," explains Satta in a note. "While for rams, the last call published by Argea dates back several years."

Among the main innovations are the increase in the support rate, which goes up from 40% to 60% of the eligible expenditure for all beneficiaries, and the adjustment to the new European legislation on State aid, which raises the maximum aid ceiling from 25 thousand to 50 thousand euros . "Another important aspect that will affect the upcoming calls for tenders that will be managed by the Laore Agency is the simplification of the directives that will allow for more streamlined and faster investigation procedures - continues Satta -. A total of two million euros are available for the two measures. The two interventions - concludes the councilor - were discussed and agreed upon within the Green Table with the trade associations of the agricultural sector that never fail to make their active contribution to support Sardinian agricultural businesses". The measures will be managed by the Laore Agency, which will soon publish the notices for the submission of applications.
