The procedure for granting grants to novice farmers
Grants are awarded on a competitive basis. A special commission, which is created under the regional department in charge of agriculture, analyzes applications and determines the most worthy applicants. The procedure for granting grants to novice farmers next:
Submission of a package of documents for consideration by the commission
All papers listed above are transferred along with the completed application to the commission. Application deadlines should be monitored as they are not fixed and may vary from region to region.
Signing a grant agreement
Those applicants who have been selected by the commission must sign the contract. It indicates the amount of financial assistance, the purposes for which it should be spent (based on the documents provided by the applicant), the format for reporting on the funds spent, the expected results, the conditions for returning the grant.
Accounting for funds received
After the period of use, the recipient of the grant must account for its use, taking into account the conditions (purpose use, job creation, etc.).
The procedure for obtaining a grant looks quite simple, but due to the large number of applications, not every novice farmer can receive the desired assistance. To increase your chances, it is recommended to adhere to the following recommendations:
- pay special attention to the preparation of documentation - the commission is not familiar with you and your farm, it will rely only on the papers provided and make a decision based on them;
- do not use dubious sources of income in documents, do not indicate false or unrealistic figures - most likely, the fraud will be revealed, and the applicant will never be able to apply for grants again. Similar sanctions also await those who intend to use the allocated funds for inappropriate spending;
- take care of legal support - a large number required documents, knowledge of all procedures require legal assistance. Participation in the preparation for the competition by an experienced specialized specialist significantly increases the chances of winning a grant.
If you meet all the requirements and follow these recommendations, you can safely count on help for a novice farmer.
Conclusion
Government program"Beginning Farmer" allows new agricultural producers to receive funds for development. But in order to receive a grant, you need to meet a number of conditions, prepare a solid package of documents and pass the selection of a specialized commission. In preparing for the competition, the assistance of a specialized lawyer will be important.
Under the targeted state program, you can get a subsidy for the development of farming in the amount of 1 to 4 million rubles. It is valid until 2020, thousands of family farms and start-up entrepreneurs have already received grants.
Any individual entrepreneur and organization can be engaged in the production, processing and sale of agricultural products. However, for the agricultural sector, special conditions and special forms of management. How to become a farmer, what kind of enterprise to create in order to receive development subsidies, tax incentives, cheap loans? To make an informed choice, you need to pay attention to such points as:
- ways of organizing a peasant farm (KFH);
- taxation, social payments to off-budget funds;
- profitable state support programs for agricultural producers.
Features of KFH: which form is better to choose
It should immediately be noted that legal status KFH is dualistic. Since 1990, they have been created in the form of legal entities, and since 1994 - as individual entrepreneurs without forming a legal entity. In 2003, Law No. 74-FZ “On a Peasant (Farmer) Economy” was adopted, where it is defined as a family-related association of citizens by agreement. However, since 2012, such a voluntary entity has the right to create a legal entity - KFH-LE.
Thus, now officially there are three types of farms. For their organization, the following conditions must be met:
- engaging in the production of agricultural products, as well as its processing, storage, transportation and sale;
- personal participation in the activities of the economy, regardless of the presence (absence) of family relations.
How do they differ from each other?
IP registered by the head of the KFH, and acting solely.
In accordance with the law, a peasant farm can be organized by one person. In this case, he is not much different from other entrepreneurs, but acquires the advantages of his special status. IP registration is carried out as usual. Simultaneously with the submission of the general package of required documents, two applications are filled out at once: N P21001 and N P21002 - for the KFH. An entrepreneur can work alone on the farm, or involve employees as an employer.
KFH based on an agreement (without the formation of a legal entity).
Such an economy is created as a contractual association of persons related by family relations or kinship. Outsiders can be no more than 5 people. The property is in common joint or shared ownership, this is prescribed in the agreement. It also indicates the elected head of the peasant farm, which must have the status of an individual entrepreneur. He makes all transactions on behalf of the economy, is his official representative in all bodies. In order for all participants to be registered as members of a farm, an agreement is submitted to the Federal Tax Service.
Anyone who voluntarily leaves the farm loses the right to land and tools of production. He only gets monetary compensation, proportionate to its share in the common property, and within 2 years after the release bears subsidiary liability for common debts within its share. In fact, this form differs from an individual farm in more complex property relationships, and the need to pay insurance premiums for each participant.
KFH as an organizational and legal form of a legal entity (Article 86.1 of the Civil Code).
In this case, a commercial organization based on membership is formed - a corporate legal entity. The presence of family ties is not mandatory, but all other conditions must be met:
- the company operates in the field of agriculture;
- only a member of a peasant farm can be a member of the organization;
- each of the partners must make a property contribution;
- all partners are obliged to take a personal part in the work.
The owner of the property is the KFH. However, unlike, for example, from an LLC, the law provides for subsidiary liability of its members for the obligations of the economy, and not limited by size. There is one more feature. A commercial organization may participate in any transactions, become bankrupt or liquidate. But for a land plot there is a rule: it can be sold at public auction only to those who will continue to use it for agricultural production.
These restrictions make the "legal entity" inferior. KFH-LE is more like a simple partnership, however, in the latter, all participants have the status of individual entrepreneurs. The only plus is that family relationships are not required. In practice, this condition is observed only for old organizations formed before 1994. Now, first, it is required to create a KFH by agreement, after which it acquires the right to register as a legal entity. Such farm business has more restrictions than ordinary business.
Right problem. There are no provisions in the law that allow forcibly excluding a member of a peasant farm from the participants, as is allowed for other commercial organizations. Therefore, it is impossible to get rid of a partner who does not fulfill his duties, or who has caused losses to the economy. He can leave the farm only by own will(Article 1, No. 74-FZ). This applies to both a voluntary association by agreement and a legal entity.
Taxation of agricultural producers and benefits
Any enterprise engaged in the agro-complex, including a farm, has the right. It is paid at a rate of 6% (income minus expenses), and is additionally beneficial in that losses due to crop failure can be included in the expenses. Such payers are exempt from taxes on income, income individuals(personal income tax), on property, VAT. Benefits do not apply to income taxed at a rate of 30% and customs goods. However, the KFH has the right to apply any other taxation system: general (OSNO) or simplified taxation (STS), if they consider it more appropriate.
With regard to contributions to pensions and medical insurance (PFR, FFOMS), no exceptions are allowed. The head pays for himself, as an individual entrepreneur, and for members of a peasant farm, although they do not have such a status. The only concession is fixed amount regardless of the amount of income. So, if the agreement was signed by 5 people, then the amount increases by 5 times. For employees, all taxes and social contributions are paid as usual, depending on the size of the salary. When one of the members of the peasant farm is registered as an individual entrepreneur, for example, to engage in another type of activity, the head of the farm must still pay insurance premiums for him.
Government subsidies not only a farmer, but also an ordinary entrepreneur working for common system. However, the heads of peasant farms do not pay taxes on them, and individual entrepreneurs are taxed at a general rate of 13% in terms of all income received, including material benefits (Letter of the Ministry of Finance N 03-04-05 / 34876 of 08/26/2013).
Participation in state support programs for peasant farms
Within the framework of the State Program for the Development of Agriculture ... for 2013-2020, there is
11 subroutines. They provide for a variety of forms of support: concessional loans, coverage of losses, expenses for land registration, purchase of equipment, gasification, restoration of irrigation systems, and so on. Their implementation is carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture, the Association of Peasant Farms (AKKOR). Detailed information can be found on official websites.
Each region approves its own action plan, develops its own targeted program, which is approved by the Ministry of Agriculture. The conditions for participation in competitions for grants and subsidies are published on the websites of local administrations. Applicants must submit a business plan for the development of the economy, the selection is made directly in the region (Fig. 1). For example, consider three of them.
1 "Support for start-up farmers for the period 2012-2014"
In 2013, 76 regions participated in it, 2 billion rubles were allocated for it, and almost 3,000 farmers received grants. For 2015, an amount of 3.2 billion rubles was allocated, 3,500 start-up entrepreneurs received the money, the average amount per farm was 1.14 million rubles.
2 "Development of family livestock farms".
70 subjects of the federation take part in this subprogram. 797 farms were built and reconstructed using 1.5 billion rubles of state budget funds. The competition for participation reached 30 applications per place. In 2015, 3.08 billion rubles were allocated to 958 households. The average grant amount was 4.35 million rubles per farm.
3 "Support for small businesses".

In 2015, 88 agricultural cooperatives from 25 regions received such support for a total amount of about 1 billion rubles. Of these: 34 are engaged in the processing of meat products, 33 - milk and dairy products, 21 - vegetables and berries.
Recently, the requirements for the selection of participants have been changed:
- entrepreneurs with experience of only 6 months (for 3 years) are allowed to receive a grant for a novice farmer;
- the period for the use of subsidies has been extended to 18 months (was 12), for livestock farms- 24 months (was 18);
- a novice farmer after 3 years after the full development of the allocated funds can receive money for a family farm;
- it is prohibited to allocate subsidies for the development of animal husbandry if the head of the peasant farm was previously the founder commercial organization;
- to receive a grant, there must be no delay in the payment of insurance premiums, as well as penalties and fines.
conclusions
You can organize a farm as a business in the form of a peasant farm if you draw up a good business plan and show perseverance by applying for participation in federal and regional targeted programs. Also, nothing prevents you from doing agriculture by creating an LLC or sole proprietorship. Especially if you rely on the money of private investors - in the absence of restrictions in terms of personal participation, nepotism, subsidiary liability. According to the law, the state provides support to farmers, promotes their creation and development. Recall that in all other cases - entrepreneurship is carried out at your own peril and risk.
In order to develop the agricultural industry and stimulate the economy, the Russian Government seeks to support local producers in various ways. The Beginner Farmer program is designed to help entrepreneurs start their own business in this area and increase the volume of production.
When studying what kind of assistance to novice farmers participants of this kind of program can receive, it is worth noting that it provides for two main types of payments aimed at helping the entrepreneur in several areas.
In addition to this program, there are many regional projects, the main purpose of which is to support beginner farmers. Due to the large number of such payments and subsidies, they should be divided into several main groups.
The state supports start-up farmers
Among them:
- one-time payments. They allow you to significantly simplify the arrangement of the land, as they are intended to pay for their residential outbuildings, purchase of specialized equipment, and conduct the necessary communications;
- compensation for construction costs. Aimed at partial reimbursement of the cost of construction works;
- subsidizing leasing agreements. Allows you to partially offset the cost of long-term rental technical equipment necessary for agricultural activities;
- assistance in repayment of loan obligations aimed at the modernization / expansion of the economy;
- payments, the recipients of which are determined on competitive basis. Designed to expand the economy, conduct communications and other purposes.
Such an abundance of payments makes it possible to significantly increase the number of small farms, which is especially important in the context of the economic crisis, when production volumes and the number of enterprises are declining.
To receive each type of support, the candidate must meet the established list of conditions and requirements.
State support program "Starting farmer"
The list of subsidies received under the program changes periodically to better meet the needs of small farms. On the this moment, the conditions of the program provide for 2 main types of subsidies - for the development and arrangement of life.
The first option involves an impressive payment, the amount of which can vary from 1.5 to 3 million rubles, and the second - up to 250 thousand rubles. It is important to bear in mind that spending this kind of funds can be exclusively targeted and requires confirmation. In order to become a member and receive support, an entrepreneur must operate in the field of meat, dairy farming or vegetable growing.
At the same time, subsidies also apply to farmers who grow berries, as well as breed horses, goats, sheep, chickens and other animals. Such assistance for the development of personal subsidiary plots began to be provided in 2012, when the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation developed and submitted to the government a corresponding bill.
As mentioned earlier, the program changed periodically, adapting to the needs of farmers and economic realities, in connection with which in 2016 there was a significant increase in the size of subsidies, as well as the number of additional payments. The Young Farmer program provides for regional differences in the amount and type of subsidies, but the rules are the same for all participants and are established at the federal level.
Program Goals
Due to the difficult economic situation, the main goal of the government in developing the project was to support entrepreneurs who wish to start agricultural activities on a relatively small scale. The development of the agricultural sector and the emergence of new farms make it possible to fill the market with local food products, which is especially important in the context of sanctions.
Subsidies are issued in certain areas of agriculture
Considering in more detail the goals that the authorities adhered to when developing the program, it is worth mentioning:
- development of abandoned, empty land plots, as well as an increase in the volume of production;
- creation of jobs in various regions of the country due to new farms;
- increase in average volume wages employees employed in the agricultural industry;
- expansion of the market for raw materials and the displacement of foreign food products from it;
- replacement of imported products with domestic counterparts.
The measures envisaged by the program make it possible to realize such goals, since after the start of its operation, there has been a significant increase in the number of small farms and peasant farms.
What funds can be used for
Such a program provides for certain restrictions regarding the purposes of spending funds issued by the state. Grants and subsidies designed to help organize and modernize agricultural activities can be applied to:
- acquisition of land suitable for the chosen type of activity;
- purchase of equipment, as well as planting material;
- acquisition of livestock that is planned to be bred within the farm.
Among other things, funds can be used to conduct repair work in relation to commercial buildings, Supplies and equipment for them. Among the admissible purposes are also communications, the laying of which requires significant financial costs.
Funds intended to improve the living conditions of farmers can be spent on the following needs:
- equipping the living quarters with communications;
- purchase/repair/construction of housing;
- purchase of furniture, household items, passenger-and-freight vehicle.
Since the program provides for strict control over the spending of funds allocated by the government, the farmer is given 1 year to provide the necessary reports on the expenditures made.
Maximum grant amount
The maximum amount of a grant received depends on many factors, the main of which is its type. If it is planned to improve living conditions, then the maximum possible amount of the subsidy will be 250,000 rubles. If it is planned to develop the economy at the expense of state subsidies, then the size of the grant can reach 3 million rubles.
The amount of subsidies depends on the region
Conditions for receiving a grant
In order to be able to receive a grant under such a program, it is necessary to satisfy a number of requirements to select promising candidates. Among the main requirements:
- education, preferably higher;
- recommendations from local authorities, the cooperative;
- current product sales agreements, as well as a business plan for the future;
- the entrepreneur's own funds must be at least 10% of the project cost;
- the chosen type of activity should be a priority for a particular region.
Among other things, it should be remembered that the entrepreneur must use the allocated subsidy for 2 years, regularly pay insurance contributions, and also have at least 10 years of experience in this field.
Package of documents
A candidate for a grant must not only meet certain requirements, but also collect a package of documents necessary for participation in the program. It includes the following items:
- completed application form;

In the current economic conditions the development of some industries is a priority for the state. These include agriculture, gardening, animal husbandry, etc. To support the industry and attract new participants, a program has been developed at the federal level to provide subsidies to novice farmers in 2018.
Getting Support
Subsidies to farmers in 2018 are assigned based on the amount allocated to a particular region. Every year the number of such areas increases, but the distribution of the total amount allocated by the government for development is uneven.
Each region receives a share according to general conditions. At the same time, it is assessed how much it has suffered from the imposition of sanctions, the general level of development of the industry, the presence of favorable conditions, etc.
This year, the subsidy for farmers is over 3 billion rubles, and the total number of regions participating in the program is 83.

Despite the fact that subsidies are mainly intended for start-up farmers, enterprises that have been operating on the market for more than a year have the right to take advantage of the opportunity to public funding. In this case, you can get help for development or expansion. The allowance can be used to pay off loan obligations.

The amount of start-up capital largely depends on the scale of production, the variety of mushrooms that you will grow and the cost of seed. Let's try to calculate how much money is needed for one cycle of champignon production in a small farm:
- Production of 30 tons of compost - 20 thousand rubles;
- Mycelium - 10 thousand rubles;
- Heating - 50 thousand rubles.
- Total: 80 thousand rubles.

Before you become a farmer from scratch in the field of vegetable growing, carefully consider where you will take the finished product. The easiest option is to sell the crop through wholesalers, but they offer low prices, so the profit from growing vegetables will be insignificant. Another option - retail. In this case, you will have to equip outlet and hire a salesperson. Many farmers sell their finished products to restaurants and processors.
The profitability of this business largely depends on climatic conditions and the choice of culture. It is most profitable to focus on expensive goods, since in summer many vegetables are grown in open ground and their prices drop significantly during the season. In this regard, your costs for greenhouse cultivation may not pay off. After you exit net income, you can think about how to become a vegetable farmer on a larger scale.
