The government has allocated 345 million drams for loaning farmers,
said the minister of agriculture, Vice Prime Minister Armo Tsatryan
told Karabakh-Open.com.

Interest-free loans will be provided for winter wheat, 50 thousand
drams per hectare. The minister of agriculture says the money has
already been transferred to the bank accounts of the communities. The
community councils will set the benchmarks for eligibility.

Recently the government has decided to provide compensation to farmers
who will not sow their land this year. "We will provide 35 thousand per
hectare to such farmers," the minister said. He said the compensation
will be provided later because the farmers can sow winter wheat until
January 20.
