State Agrarian Register (DAR) is a state automated information system for collecting, recording, accumulating, and processing information about agricultural producers.
DAR provides online access to support programs to all registered agricultural producers, regardless of their size and organizational and legal form. The information system works similarly to the registers of agricultural producers that exist in all EU member states.
It is important to note that the law provides for the possibility of access to the system by third parties, in particular banks and international donors, which makes DAR a universal tool for the centralized distribution of all existing types of support, both from the state budget and through grants from international organizations.
In other words, this is “Action” for farmers – an automated electronic system created by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy with the technical assistance of the European Union for the effective and transparent distribution and administration of all types of support for Ukrainian farmers. DAR works similarly to the registers of agricultural producers that exist in all EU member states. Agricultural producers registered in DAR will be able to apply for state subsidies, targeted, subsidized credit programs, loans and technical assistance from the European Union and other international donors. In this way, by spending only a few minutes on registration, farmers will be able to access information about state support programs in real time and submit applications for them online from home or office.
Previously, this procedure was so complicated and bureaucratic that producers lost interest in it halfway through. This state of affairs was also unsatisfactory for the state, as it was difficult for it to analyze the work of existing support programs, monitor their effectiveness, and plan new programs.
The registration procedure for DAR is simple and requires a few minutes, an electronic signature, and an email address. Most importantly, any farmer can register, even one with only a few animals on their farm.
