Berisha: The state will cover 80% of the interest on loans that farmers will

In the Agriculture program, opposition leader Sali Berisha promised that the state will cover 80% of the interest on loans that farmers will receive for the development of their farms, such as greenhouses, nurseries, livestock, and other agricultural sectors. This financial support will help farmers develop their activities and cope with financial difficulties they may have during the investment process.

Berisha : Every seedling you plant and every head of livestock you keep. The establishment of direct subsidies will be an absolute emergency, and we will practice this scheme immediately. What will be the subsidy amount?
The subsidy amount will not be as much as France and Germany, but it will be as much as Kosovo and Macedonia, which is now 5 times larger than in Albania.
If you take it minute by minute, it is even larger. Because these, for example, have left 56 million euros this budget year. But the problem is that they convert most of it into salaries and expenses for the administration and do not provide financing to farmers for seedlings and livestock.
We will increase it 5-fold. We will reach the level that Macedonia, Kosovo, and the surrounding countries have.
Secondly. The entire Albanian agriculture, which contributes 19% of the country's domestic production, receives only 1% of bank credit. And this is punishing for agriculture.
What will we do?
We will undertake the maximum mitigation of requirements. The state will cover 80% of the interest on the loans that farmers will receive for their farms. And this, I consider necessary. This will be the Development Bank that we will create the most. I guarantee you that we will cover 80% of the interest on the loans that you will receive for greenhouses, for farms, for nurseries, for farms, for livestock and for everything.
