As set out in A.3.3., following the development (WT1) and pilot testing under real operating conditions (WT2) of the autonomous robotics solutions, the project will focus its attention on achieving the effective assimilation of these systems by the fruit and vegetable productive fabric across the Sudoe area. To this end, a model for financing the investment will be developed, based on mutualisation among owners of compatible agricultural holdings, with the aim of sharing the costs associated with the implementation of new technologies and, thereby, fostering the adoption and use of the solutions.
The financing model for investments in fixed capital will be defined in conjunction with the other variables influencing the economic management of agricultural holdings, including direct payments from the Common Agricultural Policy and others conditioned through eco-schemes. Likewise, specialized entities in the financing of agricultural fixed capital investments will collaborate in its preparation and implementation, offering advice on the different financing strategies and will be able to incorporate the solutions developed by FRUCTHOR-IA among the equipment offered to affiliated farmers.
In short, the project will adopt a proactive approach to transferring the developed solutions to the agricultural productive fabric by elaborating a model that guarantees their financial accessibility through mutualisation models among compatible fruit and vegetable holdings.
