Although there is no set turnover or land area criteria, for eligibility businesses must demonstrate they are looking to engage with the project and be included in measuring success and provide relevant information to Tyfu Cymru Growing Wales throughout the project for reporting purposes.
You are not eligible if:
- You are a businesses over the border in England. You cannot be supported unless they have a registered horticulture business and are actively growing in Wales for that business. If you are registered in England we may ask for your holding number in Wales as proof of business activity.
