The government has also allocated about 50 billion rubles to subsidize preferential loans for agricultural producers and residents of rural areas.
More than 48 billion rubles will be used to support the program of preferential loans for farmers. The allocated funds will allow maintaining a preferential interest rate on 41.5 thousand loans that were previously issued for the production and processing of agricultural products as well as for the production of veterinary drugs, food and food additives and enzyme preparations.
Over 1.1 billion rubles will be used to subsidize more than 18,000 preferential loans previously issued under the "Comprehensive Development of Rural Areas" program. These are consumer loans for home improvement, including:
To connect houses to electricity, water and gas supply, sewage and heating.
Development of engineering infrastructure.
Roof repair.
Building residences in rural areas.
We hope that the decision made will have a positive effect on the development of the industry, the preservation of jobs in the regions and will be a good preparation for the planning of the future sowing campaign", stressed Mikhail Meshustin.
