3.2 billion rubles of state support were used for sowing campaign in Bashkiria

During the spring field work, 3.2 billion rubles of state support was brought to agricultural producers, Deputy Prime Minister - Republican Minister of Agriculture Ilshat Fazrakhmanov said.

“The sowing campaign requires considerable one-time costs. Seeds, fertilizers, fuels and lubricants, and spare parts for machinery are needed. Therefore, we are trying to bring state support funds to farmers on time. Today, the funds allocated for subsidizing the purchase of equipment, mineral fertilizers, for the sown area and compensation for the low cost of grain have been almost completely disbursed,” commented the head of the Bashkir agro-industrial complex.

This year, 2.9 million hectares have been sown in Bashkiria. Traditionally, more than 60% were crops of grain and leguminous crops. The areas under crops of fodder grasses and sugar beets have been significantly increased. As Bashinform News Agency reported, the total cost of the sowing campaign was estimated at 23 billion rubles.
