Kerry’s artisan food businesses urged to avail of €5m support scheme
Education Minister and Fianna Fáil TD Norma Foley is encouraging Kerry’s artisan food businesses to avail of a new €5 million LEADER support scheme.
Up to €200,000 is being made available per project and is targeted to help artisan, micro and small food businesses to respond to challenges posed by Brexit and COVID-19, while also supporting diversification in agriculture.
The €5m funding which has been made available will help support Kerry’s farmers and food enterprises to develop premium, sustainable outlets for their products on the Irish market.
“I would encourage all artisan, micro and small food businesses across Kerry to apply for this funding," Minister Foley said.
"This grand aid will provide a vital boost to businesses who are impacted directly by both Brexit and COVID-19.”
Final applications can be made through Kerry LCDC or by logging on to: www.gov.ie/en/publication/c45498-local-action-groups/.
