The Pigs and Poultry Investment Scheme is one of a suite of seven investment measures available under the Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme (TAMS II). To date 170 applications have been received under the Pigs and Poultry Investment Scheme. 130 approvals have issued and approvals continue to issue on an on going basis.
There have been no particular difficulties experienced by poultry farmers with the approval process that have been signalled to my Department. However, Department officials are available to discuss any application with a prospective applicant to ensure that there are no difficulties experienced in submitting an application for the broad range of investments available under the Scheme.
