More than 173 million rubles have already been transferred to agricultural enterprises in the Arkhangelsk region to prepare for the sowing campaign. This was reported by the regional ministry of agro-industrial complex and trade.
This practice of advancing the costs of agricultural producers was applied for the first time last year and has already proven its effectiveness.
– Spring has not yet arrived and our farmers are already starting preparations for the sowing season: they are checking the equipment, buying fertilizers and seeds. We support them financially in this area. As of March 1, more than 173 million rubles had been transferred to agricultural producers. In a month we will transfer about 350 million rubles more: this is a third of all funds provided for in the budget to support farmers in the region in 2023, – said Alexander Tsybulsky, Governor of the Arkhangelsk region , in his telegram channel.
This is the subsidy prepayment method that helps companies prepare for the new season in advance and start spring sowing on time. State aid allows farmers to purchase seeds, fertilizers, fuels, lubricants and spare parts for machinery in advance.
