Ukrainian premier says farmers can count on government support

The Ukrainian government understands that the development of small and medium-sized businesses is the foundation of a successful economy, so it is working on the creation of favorable conditions for entrepreneurs, Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said. 

"Farming is an excellent opportunity for rural people to create their own businesses and produce high-quality products with added value. The good news is that this year the government envisaged four billion hryvnias [$155 million] in budgetary subsidies for farmers who are engaged in the livestock industry, horticulture, growing grapes, vegetables and sugar beets," he wrote this on his Facebook page on Friday.

He recalled that the Ukrainian Agricultural Policy and Food Ministry had created a high-quality video explaining how to get such a subsidy.
