   Zoning, Permits and Grant Eligibility Rules

   • Agricultural land use and building permit: Agricultural building / non-agricultural land use approval under Law No. 5403; municipal/provincial building permit.
   • EIA and environmental clearances: EIA Exemption / Not Required certificate for compost and livestock projects.
   • Unit price schedules: Grant-eligible civil works are budgeted against Ministry of Environment unit price rates; excess costs are covered by investor equity.
   • Strict rule against pre-contract works: No excavation or construction work may commence on site prior to the official signing of the grant contract.

This page covers structure types, environmental mandates and utility steps for the 3 investment alternatives; it gives no amounts. The budget will be prepared based on approved architectural/structural blueprints, geotechnical reports and official ministry unit price schedules.
