The Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) provides grants to farmers to build and/or improve a specified range of farm buildings and equipment on their holdings, and all investments must be linked to climate, environmental or animal welfare improvements.

There are currently no investments available under TAMS 3 specific to hemp processing for commercial purposes.

The list of investment items continues to be reviewed on a regular basis. The inclusion of further investment categories will be dependent on the availability of the required funding under the TAMS 3 schemes.
