The EAFRD budget for 2021 -2027 amounts to  95.51 billion euros, with an addition of  8.1 billion euros.

Support for investments can be structured in the following way:

• infrastructure (5.5 bn €);

• off-farm non-productive (2.5 bn €);

• off-farm productive (6.1 bn €);

• on farm non-productive investment (10.8 bn €); 

• on farm productive investment(Euro 1 3 bn). 

Financial instruments (loans and guarantees) account for 1.0 billion euros, and Member States can modify these financial allocations throughout the implementation of their CAP Strategic Plans, depending on the uptake of these interventions and strategic choices.

The European Commission, Local authorities, and financial entities in each Member State are responsible for the funding, which will last from 2021 to 2027.

The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) grant budget allocates EU funds. Each Member State or local authority complements the EAFRD funds with additional resources, which manage the total funding. Investment funding is distributed via grants, financial instruments (mostly loans and guarantees), or a combination of the two.
