Farmers of the Kherson region will compensate for part of the costs of exporting products

The Russian government is considering the issue of partial compensation for rail transportation costs to farms in the Kherson region in order to reduce the cost of exporting products for agricultural producers. This was reported by the Governor of the region Vladimir Saldo.

“Our agricultural producers have to work in very difficult conditions, so they need specific support measures,” Saldo said. According to him, the sale of grain remains one of the most problematic issues of the economy of the region.

He also noted that the Ministry of agriculture of Russia has already proposed to connect local farmers to public procurement. A decision is being prepared to reimburse farmers for part of the costs of the current winter sowing campaign.

According to the authorities of the region, now local farmers are completing the harvesting of grain and leguminous crops, farms collect sunflowers and simultaneously conduct winter sowing. Rapsom has already sown 16 thousand hectares of fields.
