Alexandrin Moiseev, deputat PNL: „Ministerului Agriculturii să ofere sprijin real pentru cooperativele românești”

Liberal deputy Alexandrin Moiseev urges the Ministry of Agriculture to develop a coherent strategy for supporting farmer associations, citing a successful cooperative in Botoșani as an example. This cooperative, with only 15 local cereal producers, achieved a turnover of over 209 million lei and a record net profit of 9.8 million lei, outperforming traditional cooperatives from more developed agricultural counties. Despite this success, the overall association rate among Romanian farmers remains low compared to the European average. Moiseev calls for non-reimbursable funding, state aid schemes, tax incentives, and bureaucratic simplification to support new cooperatives. He emphasizes the need for active guidance and direct financial support for small and medium farmers to understand the economic benefits of such structures, urging the government to prioritize agricultural cooperatives for a stable internal food market.
