Prime Minister Viorica Dancila announced on Monday that, last week, another 103.2 million euro from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) entered Romania's accounts.
Dancila added that the Gov't continues the support granted to farmers and agriculturists in order to ensure the presence of local products on the market.
"Agriculture Minister Petre Daea informed me that the last instalment of over 200 million lei was paid to the vegetable growers registered in cycle I of the support programme for tomatoes. It is a highly appreciated programme, in the first stage of this year almost 20,000 vegetable growers have registered, and about half of them have obtained additional production and they are still delivering on the market. For cycle II of the programme, we have registered more than 4,000 agricultural producers, which means that we continue to have all their support for the supply of tomatoes to the Romanian population," she mentioned.
