The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said that thanks to the IPARD II program, there were signed 144 contracts for the development of agricultural mechanics and the improvement of work processes on the farm.

The Agency for Agriculture and Rural Development has supported the farmers in improving agricultural technologies and mechanization of farms by financing tractors and agricultural aggregates, such as tractors for carrying out agro-technical works in greenhouses and vineyards, equipment for planting, ploughing and spraying pumps.

These devices have significantly increased the quality and yield of production in planted areas, in reducing labor costs, as well as increasing employment, influencing the growth of the rural economy.

The improvement of mechanization in agriculture, in addition to support with grants, is also strongly supported by the free-tax oil scheme.

For two years, the government has been applying tax-free oil supply to farmers, relieving them of high costs and expanding the areas planted with agricultural crops. /j.p/p.s./
