The Romanian Ministry of Agriculture's project to provide €60 million in support for fertilizer price increases has received a favorable opinion from the Ministry of Finance. This initiative aims to assist farmers amid rising fertilizer costs due to the Middle East crisis. Half of the funding will come from non-reimbursable EU funds, while the other half will be sourced from the national budget. The aid will target producers of various crops, including grains and vegetables, and will be distributed through the APIA based on eligibility criteria. The Finance Minister emphasized the importance of ensuring that funding aligns with annual budget approvals and highlighted the need for clear financing sources for support measures.
