Land market, support of farmers equally important
Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman says that now it is important to talk not only about the land market, but also the support of farmers.
«As far as land is concerned, I would like very much to be very cautious with the land, because land is our greatest asset, especially its fertility, so it's important not to talk about the land market only, but we need to talk about tools that will allow the Ukrainian farmer — I don't speak about large land owners and agro holdings, but a real farmer to have access to this land, gain access to financial resources," the prime minister said on the ICTV channel on Monday.
The government is currently holding negations with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the World Bank on supporting farmers, he said.
«Today, we are working with the EBRD and the World Bank to create such tool, including through state support, we need to revive farming," he added.
