The 2024 Scheme of Investment Aid for the Development of the Commercial Horticulture Sector opened for applications on 08 November 2023 and closed on 10 January 2024. The Scheme which has a budget of €10 million in 2024 is intended to assist in the development of the horticulture sector, including beekeeping, by grant aiding capital investments in specialised plant and equipment. All applications under the Scheme have now been assessed and applicants are currently being notified of the outcome of their application. It is expected that this process will be completed by mid April 2024.
