EBRD considering lending to Ukrainian aquaculture companies
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is exploring the potential for providing loans to businesses operating in the aquaculture sector, the State Agency for Land Reclamation and Fisheries reported on its Telegram channel.
"This opens up new opportunities to stimulate the industry's development, modernize production facilities, implement innovative technologies, and strengthen Ukraine's food security," the message reads.
Public and private enterprises, as well as territorial communities that have projects in the fields of pond, cage aquaculture, mariculture and recirculation systems (RAS), are invited to participate in the selection.
To be considered by international partners, potential participants must provide a project description in English, including the location, stage of development, required funding, and sources of income. The type of support required must be specifically specified: a loan, a grant, or technical assistance.
The State Fisheries Agency's Methodological and Technological Center for Aquaculture will collect and process proposals. Applications will be accepted until May 5, 2026.
