Bashkiria farmers purchased agricultural machinery for 4 billion rubles

Bashkiria farmers purchased 616 units of agricultural machinery and equipment for more than 4 billion rubles in the first four months of 2025, 1.1 billion rubles more than in January-April last year, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Bashkortostan Ilshat Fazrakhmanov noted at an operational meeting of the government.

Since the beginning of this year, 116 tractors, 12 grain harvesters, more than 170 tillage and seeding machines, and other equipment have been purchased.

Farmers from Sterlitamak, Karmaskalinsky, and Ilishevsky districts purchased agricultural machinery and equipment more often than others, for a total of 416 to 457 million rubles. Conversely, the smallest volume of purchases was observed in the Askinsky, Mishkinsky, and Mechetlinsky districts. Farmers in the Arkhangelsk, Birsk, and Burzyansky districts of Bashkiria have not purchased any equipment at all since the beginning of the year.

189 equipment units worth 953 million rubles were received through JSC Rosagroleasing. Additional applications were submitted for 1 billion rubles. Rosagroleasing’s preferential leasing campaign “Thaw” with a deferment of payments on the principal debt until October 2025 started in March and has been extended until May 31 this year. Farmers in our republic need to join this program actively,” Ilshat Fazrakhmanov is convinced.
