What is this grant about?
This aid is awarded competitively: you have to submit the application before 11/30/2026 and the proposals will be evaluated against each other, so meeting the requirements does not guarantee that you will receive it. This is a cash subsidy for SMEs and the self-employed who have cattle, sheep or goat farming in Galicia and are forced to stop the activity due to official surveillance or disease eradication campaigns. The goal is to offset lost revenue for the duration of the downtime.
