Purchase of agricultural equipment - for attachment, development of the material capacity on a small farm and improvement of the production quality

This project proposal provides for the purchase of attachments - a vertical cutter milling cutter, for carrying out the basic agro-technical measures for soil preparation on the applicant's holding, as well as for cultivation during the vegetation of the vegetable crops. The subject of the investment is the purchase and commissioning of the "Forigo" vertical milling cutter - Italy, model "F61-170". The main objective is to improve the competitiveness of the farm by restructuring and developing the available material capacities and improving the quantity and quality of the production received. The applicant grows mainly vegetable crops. The planned purchase of an attachment - a vertical cutter cutter, aims to reduce the cost of production of agricultural produce and optimize the economic efficiency of the farm's overall business. At the time of application, the farmer owns a 60-horsepower YMZ-6L wheeled tractor, but does not have its own attachment. The farm also has a powerplant of 6.5 hp. For the basic agrotechnical activities, the available technique and manual labor are used which in time do not usually cover the optimal agrotechnical terms and this is reflected in the quantity and quality of the produced production. The project was developed on the basis of 24,934 decares of arable land, which in the current 2018/2019 is planned to grow 16,100 decares of vegetable crops. The envisaged investment is worth BGN 11520,00 and the amount of the grant is expected to be up to 70% of the generally recognized costs as the project is presented by a young farmer.
