The Government of the Republic of Bashkiria plans this year to provide subsidies for regional farmers as part of state financial assistance.

It is noteworthy that farmers will receive funds in the amount of one and a half billion rubles for the implementation of a specific goal - the modernization and updating of the existing fleet of agricultural machinery.

It will not be superfluous to note that this year financial assistance to the peasants of Bashkiria is much higher than a year earlier - in 2018 republican agrarians allocated 15.4% less funds for technical needs.

Such information was shared with the audience by the deputy head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Bashkiria, Pavel Iofinov.

According to him, last year, farmers received about 1.3 billion rubles in order to recoup the costs of agricultural equipment and special equipment.

And at that time, the allocation of such an amount was a real surprise for regional farmers, whose material assistance in previous years was significantly less. It will not be superfluous to note that subsidies are allocated from the fund of the republican budget.

According to Iofinov, in 2019, as part of providing material assistance, farmers will purchase about three hundred and sixty tractors of various types, at least two hundred and seventy combines for harvesting grain and about five dozen combines for collecting forage crops.
