At a March 16 meeting of the Republican Committee chaired by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture Ilham Guliyev, it was decided to allocate 17 million 51 thousand AZN as subsidies to 129 thousand producers of wheat and rice.
According to the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture, the local commissions provided data on sowing wheat and rice at 416.3 thousand ha (as of 1 December 2014). The subsidy is 40 manat per hectare. The total amount of subsidies decreased at about 3.1 million manat. This year, the number of recipients of state aid has decreased by 20.7 thousand subjects.
