<div style="text-align: justify;">The Abruzzo Regional Authority activated a call for proposals following the Rural Development Plan measure 1.3.2, in order to stimulate farmers participation to the quality systems. The incentive aims at supporting farmers who, for the first time, intend to participate to quality systems which include higher control and certification costs. The measure wants to improve competitivity of quality productions on domestic and international markets guaranteeing, above all, food safety to protect consumers. The beneficiaries are all the operators producing raw materials and /or agriculture products for human consumption. The support includes all the organic farming, PGI and PDO products, as well as PDO/CDO, PDO/TGI, PGI/TGI oenological products. <br></div><br><br><a href="http://www.regione.abruzzo.it/portale/index.asp?modello=articolo&se… Link to the Regione Abruzzo web-page</a><br><br><br>Source: Regione Abruzzo
