A diversified farm with a carpentry workshop, used RDP support to acquire a telescopic handler in order to improve its productivity.

A family farm used LEADER support to build a new greenhouse that would provide optimum conditions for growing traditional varieties of Estonian roses.

A small rural business used RDP support to purchase new stone-cutting equipment in order to expand its range of products.

A local producer of syrups and vinegars in Estonia used EAFRD funding to scale up production to create a business that sells to restaurants, shops and big suppliers. 

A family-owned strawberry farm in Estonia used EAFRD funding to develop the generation of  solar power, enabling the farm to expand and increasing their profits.

LEADER funding in two subsequent projects helped a small metalware company grow its size and capacity and take advantage of new market opportunities.

A Hungarian woodworking business used LEADER support for the construction of a new environmentally friendly manufactory hall.

Thanks to a LEADER supported investment, a shoe repair and manufacturing enterprise constructed its own production facility benefiting from savings on rent and easier access to the market.
