The Moldovan government has approved a procedure to provide financial support to small farmers who have been affected by the crises of 2022. The support will help farmers to overcome their precarious situation, avoid insolvency, and ensure food security.

The financial support will be provided to farmers who have prepared the soil and sown crops from the first group (wheat, barley, oats, and triticale). These crops are the basis of socially important products and are also used in animal feed. The current price offered for these types of goods does not cover the investments, and farmers risk not being able to meet their contractual commitments.

"The provision of financial support will help around 3,000 farmers, who own up to 1,500 hectares of land. These aids will facilitate the cultivation of around 280,000 hectares of land sown with crops from the first group, according to statistical declarations. The calculation and provision of assistance within a short period of time will facilitate and amplify the actions of farmers, ensuring the continuity of the food chain," said Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bolea.

The assistance will be calculated by the Agency for Intervention and Payments in Agriculture on the basis of the submitted applications. The method of calculating the assistance will be carried out after identifying the eligible areas per applicant and the category coefficient, depending on the managed areas.

Igor Grosu, about the new Russian ambassador in Chisinau: "Let's see if he promotes friendship between countries"

The Chisinau authorities have no reason not to accredit the new ambassador of the Russian Federation in Chisinau, Oleg Ozerov, the Parliament Speaker, Igor Grosu, told TV8. According to the official, the rejection of Ozerov's candidacy would serve as a basis for Moscow to victimize itself and accuse Chisinau of acting against the Russian Federation. The clarifications were made in the context in which Oleg Ozerov made controversial statements during his career and allegedly had links with the Wagner paramilitary group.
