Bashkir farmers can purchase machinery and equipment in Belarus on credit and leasing

During the visit of the official delegation of Bashkortostan to Belarus, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Bashkortostan - Minister of Agriculture Ilshat Fazrakhmanov held talks with the General Director of Promagroleasing Pavel Karotkikh and Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Development Bank of the Republic of Belarus Sergei Stolyarchuk.

During the meeting, the issues of lending to Bashkir farmers for purchasing agricultural machinery and equipment for Belarusian production, including through leasing programs, were discussed. Such work will simplify the procedure for the acquisition of Belarusian equipment by Bashkir farmers and make it more accessible. In the context of restrictions on the import of some brands of foreign equipment, this is very important.

Recall that the Bashkir agro-industrial complex has embarked on an active renewal of the technical park. So, farmers purchased 3,223 units of agricultural machinery for 12.8 billion rubles in 2022, which is 800 million rubles more than in 2021. The fleet of agricultural machinery in the farms of the republic was replenished with 430 tractors of various traction classes, 161 grain and 38 forage harvesters, 820 tillage, sowing machines, and other equipment.
