Almost 45 billion UAH for the village: Shmyhal explained what the funds will be used for.

Agricultural enterprises received loans and subsidies

Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal stated that since the beginning of the current year, over 44.5 billion UAH have been provided in the form of loans to 7.4 thousand agricultural enterprises from various state support programs. Additionally, 7.7 thousand farms received subsidies for livestock development. Furthermore, the government attracted over 390 million UAH of grant funds from the World Bank for the next tranche under the corresponding program.

Clearing land from explosive items

Denys Shmyhal also emphasized that the government is actively implementing a program for clearing agricultural land from explosive items. About 1400 hectares of land have already been processed under this program. The activities of sappers have allowed to return over 35 thousand square kilometers of land, and demining skills are constantly improving.

Under the 'Made in Ukraine' program, agricultural producers are compensated for part of the costs of purchasing Ukrainian equipment. Just last year, farmers bought 5.3 thousand units of equipment, and it is expected that demand for it will grow this year. This will contribute to the development of Ukrainian industry and modernization of farms.

The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of these programs for the development of the agri-food sector of the country and support for Ukrainian farmers.
