The farmers, these producers of the country's food, managed to turn the furrow of the country and pull from the fruit of the land the nine million tons of wheat and the more than two million tons of sunflower, thus ensuring Romania's consumption needs and a surplus for export, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Petre Daea stated on Wednesday, at the opening of Indagra 2022, told Agerpres.
"In an extremely favorable moment, we meet on this exhibition plateau those who produce those who ensure our daily food, those who, through their daily contribution, place the options for agriculture in front of us, being, on the one hand both creators of agricultural policies and their makers. I want to congratulate the Romanian farmers, these producers of the country's food. I congratulate you, dear farmers, for your effort over time, but, more than that, for the effort you put this year in extremely difficult conditions, with particularly difficult situations, when the lack of water covered almost the entire acreage. You have succeeded, through your skillful work, through your daily activity, to turn the country's furrow and pull from the fruit of the land the nine million tons of wheat and the over two million tons of sunflower, thus ensuring Romania's consumption needs and a surplus for export. Certainly, this effort and this achievement could not lack the agricultural technique, those who produce machines and equipment, who shake hands with the producers of food, the Romanian farmers, at this exhibition platform," Daea said.
