Bashkiria farmers purchased equipment for 10 billion rubles

Agricultural producers of Bashkiria for 11 months of 2021 purchased about 3 thousand units of machinery and equipment for a total amount of 10 billion rubles. This is 912 million rubles more than in January-November last year, the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of the republic stressed.

"In total, the farmers of Bashkiria purchased 450 tractors of various traction classes, 205 grain and 35 forage harvesters, as well as more than 700 units of tillage and seeding machines and implements," Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture Ilshat Fazrakhmanov informed.

 "Farmers buy not only tractors and combines, but also equipment for animal husbandry. So, the other day a new fodder shop was launched at the Urozhay breeding plant of the Ilishevsky region," Ilshat Fazrakhmanov said and reminded that a large investment project for dairy farming was being implemented here.

During the construction of premises for keeping livestock, tent structures were used. The building of the feed shop was erected using similar technology, equipped with Dutch equipment with no analogs in the region.

As Bashinform News Agency reported earlier, a regional program for updating the technical fleet of the agro-industrial complex is working in Bashkiria. Within its framework, farmers are subsidized up to half of the cost of purchasing agricultural machinery.

Rosagroleasing's preferential programs also play a significant role in the technical modernization in agriculture. Since the beginning of the year, the republican farms have entered into agreements with the company in the amount of 2.4 billion rubles. So far, Rosagroleasing has supplied 390 units of various equipment for 2 billion rubles, the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Bashkiria added.
