Romania’s Agriculture Ministry sent Friday to the specialized services of the European Commission the first draft of the National Rural Development Program for 2014 – 2020. The ministry said it expects the European experts’ standpoint on the contents of the new program.
Agriculture Minister Daniel Constantin said financing within the program will increase substantially.
Thus, the country’s irrigation infrastructure, which received funds worth EUR140 million within the National Rural Development Program for 2007-2013, will get financing of EUR360 million within the new program for 2014-2020.
Also, young farmers, which received funds worth EUR302 million within the 2007-2013 program, through Measure 112 – Setting up young farmers, will get financing of EUR400 million within the 2014-2020 program, through a dedicated sub-measure.
