The grant of subsidy shall be granted to costs of planning and studies necessary to these projects, such as: clearing costs of old plantations; cost of soil preparation; costs of plants and seeds; costs of planting and sowing; costs for replanting and cleaning in the period up to completion of the project; costs of salaries for personnel assigned to the project, provided that such expenses are not usually funded by public institutions, public companies or local communities; and costs of consultancy.
