APIA: investment support for a hydroponic greenhouse in Tunisia

Updated on July 16, 2026

The installation budget is often a central question in a hydroponic greenhouse project. In Tunisia, agricultural investment support schemes may be available depending on project eligibility. Here is what to know before preparing your application.

What is APIA?

APIA, the Agricultural Investment Promotion Agency, is the Tunisian public body responsible for supporting private investment in agriculture, fishing and related services, notably by assisting project owners.

What these schemes can offer

Agricultural investment support schemes may be available depending on project eligibility. Our team can assist with the preparation of the application. Conditions depend on each application and no amount is guaranteed in advance. Detailed benchmarks are in each model's brochure, available on our hydroponic greenhouses page.

Putting together the application: where it all plays out

An application is more than a form to fill in. It requires a credible project: a solid feasibility study, coherent sizing, a realistic production plan and a well-built file. This is precisely the role of our consulting support, from the study through to filing.

  • Feasibility study of the project on your land (surface area, water, electricity, target crop).
  • Sizing of the greenhouse and the production plan.
  • Building the business plan.
  • Preparing and filing the application.

What conditions and what timeline?

No support is automatic: eligibility depends on the nature of the project, its coherence and compliance with the programme's criteria. The timeline depends on the review of the application, and any support payment may take 1 to 2 years. It is therefore best to plan ahead: an application prepared early and well avoids back-and-forth.

How do I get a quote?

It depends on the size of the greenhouse and the project. The simplest way is to request a free quote: we review your project with you. You can also compare the models and download their brochure on the our hydroponic greenhouses page.
