Financing guide under the "Rabla for tractors" program published

This week, another necessary step of the "Rabla for tractors" program was completed - the publication of the financing guide, so that applications can start soon, after the approval of this year's budget for the environment fund.

Environment Minister Mircea Fechet says this is the ministry's most eagerly awaited program and reminds that those interested can apply directly in the AFM application.

He also warned people about possible middlemen.

Mircea Fechet: Beware of those well-wishers who guarantee you a place on the application. There is no such thing. You have to sign up, you have to make sure you are in front of the computer when we open the program. Don't forget we have to turn in a used vehicle or an older tractor. We will help farmers purchase tractors up to 55.000 euros. We pay 65% to 80% of the value of the equipment. That means we can receive a maximum of €44.000.

The "Rabla for tractors" program is open to individuals who are active in agricultural production and hold a producer's certificate, the environment minister added.
