The MPs of the Șor Party call on the state to take measures to support the farmers who cannot sell their products or sell them at very low prices. They suggest creating a mechanism by which the state would purchase agricultural products from farmers in a centralized way, IPN reports.

“Our country has always been known for its agricultural products, agriculture being an important sector of the national economy. All the governments boast of supporting this sector, of devoting appropriate attention to it by different support programs. Regrettably, these programs have primarily benefited large producers that are politically affiliated or are close to those that provide different subsidies,” MP Reghina Apostolova stated in a press briefing.

The parliamentary group of Șor Party proposes founding, until March 1, 2022, a state-owned enterprise that would be responsible for the purchase of agricultural products from national farmers. The MPs consider at least one enterprise should be set up in each district to process agricultural products as this will support the agricultural sector and will contribute to creating jobs.
