The article reports that the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine has halted the acceptance of applications for special budget subsidies for maintaining a herd of cows, due to an oversubscription with 11,508 applications seeking 385.75 million UAH. The subsidies, ranging from 7 thousand UAH per head for up to 100 cows and 2 thousand UAH per head for goats or sheep, were available through the State Agrarian Register and a new electronic portal, eLivestock. The halt is due to the subsidies exceeding the available funding under a Grant Agreement with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Development Association.
