Sudden subsidies for most farmers, Minister Peci tells them why

Farmers have harvested some agricultural products for this year, but most of them have not yet received subsidies for direct support from the Ministry of Agriculture.

Some farmers complain that delaying subsidies is making farm work difficult. They say support from the state is weak.

While, Agriculture Minister Faton Peci says of Kosova priss, the execution of financial resources for farmers is under way, because, according to him, controls are also being carried out in farmers.

According to him so far in farmers' bank accounts have issued 30m euros. But the entire budget for farmers this year according to the Government is about 100m euros.

“has so far been released 30m euros, they are under way, and controls and compensation are under way ...8.9m euros is the financial amount that Rahoveci has benefited only in 2022, which would increase to 2023” said Peci.

Farmer Mirsad Mazrek points out that he has not yet received subsidies. The grape grower has said that the amount of subsidies should be increased because grape culture requires much investment.

“I haven't gotten the subsidies from the Agriculture Ministry yet... It's been better for us to pay early, because we need help to invest in vineyards... grapes and vineyards as a culture is the only thing that has been done most of all cultures, because I deal with potatoes and other cultures, but the only culture that has the most jobs is grapes... in terms of subsidies, the only culture is that it hasn't been made to raise subsidies... it's been done before it had been much help for farmers... not to pay subsidies in the third month, in the third month, that we have to invest, because it's already been sold to us, and it's been a few years ago, Maux said.

Even, the farmer, Shpend Haxhi Mustafa, said that delaying subsidies is causing many difficulties even in cultivating agricultural products.

We didn't get the subsidies, even though we should have already. This is preventing us from working too, we are waiting to be released because we cultivate six and a half acres of grapes”, Haxhi Mustafa said.

Likewise, Anid Hoxha expresses his concern over the delay in subsidies. He wants subsidies to come out soon.

“Ende (hala) we have not received subsidies this year, and we are waiting for institutions to emerge as soon as possible, as we have 7 hectares and a half grapes”, Hoxha said.

Likewise, the payments for fertilization and oil have not yet been processed for farmers. For this, farmers are obliged to bring their bills as evidence.
