“Many of our farmers — large and medium enterprises — are taking less loans from banks this year. I ask them when visiting: “Did you take loans to buy seeds, machines, additional fertilizing?” They say they used their own funds,” he said.

“This is great. It means, that the previous support, the technology and bank loans, which were used before, worked for good, and now they can do without them,” the head of the region added.

Ivan Belozertsev expressed the hope that the results of work of the regional agricultural enterprises this year will allow them giving up the loans.
