Farm Improvement Scheme

(a) An applicant must be a resident or a registered company/organisation of Hong Kong and operate a crop farm engaged in commercial production of not less than 1 dau chung (d.c.) or a licensed livestock farm in Hong Kong. (b) To prevent double benefit, each eligible farmer along with his/her spouse may only apply for one grant for the production unit that has not received a grant previously. However, if the applicant and his/her spouse own or operate more than one production unit that has not received a grant previously, or subsequently acquire or operate another production unit that has not received a grant previously, they may apply for two grants and the item(s) so acquired can be used in all their production units. (c) An applicant would need to provide proofs to certify that his/her farm is an operating farm for commercial production. Please refer to Paragraph 2 to the Application Guideline for the acceptable proofs. (d) Eligible farmers can apply FIS for purchasing equipment and materials shortlisted by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for FIS. Please refer to Annex 1 to the Application Guideline of Farm Improvement Scheme (Individual Application) for the list of farm equipment and materials.
