Supporting Individual Irrigation Systems within the Scope of Rural Development Supports

In accepted applications, support is provided through a grant for 50% of the grant-eligible goods purchase amount determined in the grant contract, excluding VAT. The grant-eligible goods purchase amount cannot exceed 1,000,000 TL for real persons and legal entities. If the goods purchase prices exceed this amount, the exceeding part is covered by the investor as a contribution in kind. The grant-eligible goods purchase amount determined in the grant contract is an upper limit. The final amount of the grant emerges as a result of actual realizations.

Expenses for which grant support will not be provided are as follows:

• All kinds of debt payments,
• Interests,
• Expenditures and expenses financed from another public source,
• Exchange rate difference expenses,
• Machinery and equipment rental fees,
• Transportation expenses,
• Banking expenses,
• Audit expenses,
• All taxes refunded or to be refunded, including VAT and SCT,
• Second-hand/used goods purchase expenses,
• Training expenses,
• Purchase expenses of individual irrigation system components with a production date older than the last 2 years,
• Expenses that are not invoiced and are invoiced before the application date or after the completion date of the goods purchase specified in the contract,
• Purchasing expenses with missing documents among the Technical Documents to be Obtained from Suppliers by Investors specified in the Current Implementation Guide,
• Individual irrigation system expenses that are not installed in the field and/or are delivered incompletely.
• In goods purchases for individual irrigation systems, construction of water intake structures such as weirs, opening of new wells, energy transmission lines, construction works such as storage facilities, and construction of only transmission lines from the water source to the irrigation area are outside the scope of grant support.
