The Ministry of agriculture of Russia issued a message stating that the farmers of the Sverdlovsk region will receive subsidies for short-term loans until 20 February. Previously regional Minister Michael Kopytov saidthat sowing campaign in jeopardy because of the intractability of the banks. Credit institutions have consistently don't cooperate with farmers, claiming its own risks.

Preparation for sowing should accelerate after the release of the draft directives of the government of Russia on the distribution of subsidies between regions in 2015.

"Funds from the Federal budget for compensation of interest rates on short-term credits in the field of crop and livestock production, as well as long-term, medium-term and short-term loans taken by small entities will be brought to regions within weeks", - stated in the message of the Federal Agency.

According to some, the need to Finance farmers have today is about 2 billion rubles. Governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev previously assigned to the regional government together with the banks and the enterprises of the region individually to study the mechanisms of crediting the real sector of the economy, including agriculture.

According to the Minister of agriculture and food of the Sverdlovsk region Michael Kopytov, thanks to this already managed to get from banks current price terms of lending to the agricultural sector. For example, in "Rosselkhozbank" interest on loans for seasonal field work without the fee will range from 21.5 to 25.5 percent per annum, depending on the business segment.

"The decision of the Russian government, can be considered as timely. However, we saw the unwillingness of the banks to meet the enterprises of the region and to participate in joint restoration and strengthening of the economy. By and large, even the strong-willed decision of the government is only a consequence and reaction, but not eliminate the cause. Our farmers is a blockade, because they feed the country, but they retracted into the financial blockade and just starve. The next step of the Ministry of agriculture could be a change in the structure of not only funding, but also the works of industry of agriculture. All the necessary suggestions and ideas are known and addressed. However, I doubt that they heard and accepted", - said the co-Chairman of the Association "Ruralagricultural" and President of NP "Association for the protection of entrepreneurs' Ivan Obukhov.

The Ministry of agriculture of Russia has also announced an increase in the subsidizing of interest rates on newly concluded credits. So, the total amount of compensation will be: for loans aimed at developing crop - 18 percent, livestock - 20 percent. Previously, the percentage of subsidies from the budgets was 8.25 percent.

Recall that in this year to support agriculture and food of the Sverdlovsk region will receive around five billion rubles.
