Gov’t finances spring cultivation to boost agriculture

Friday, March 6
Farmers throughout Georgia have started spring agricultural works, which is being financially supported by the Government.

The state will spend 50 million GEL to help 800,000 small farmers across the country with spring cultivations.

Under the Small Farmers Spring Works Assistance Program 2015, small farmers in the regions of Georgia will get their lands cultivated by state-owned tractors. They will also receive 50 GEL agricultural cards, which will enable them to buy agricultural goods according to their own choice.

This is the final year of the three-year program, which started in 2013.

A total of 420,000 hectares of land has been used for cultivation in the past two years. (Agenda.ge)
