It is planned to create a State Financial Agency to provide loans to farmers in Ukraine. This was reported by the First Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Maksym Martyniuk, agropolit.com reported.

According to the official, the appearance of the agency will lead to a decrease in the cost of loans.

"The state should provide farmers financially, it should be long and cheap money - 3% per annum and 30-year loans. To this end, we plan to establish a State Financial Guarantee Agency, which will act as guarantor of such loans," Maksym Martyniuk said.

In the event of default, the state takes part of the borrower's obligations, and then the banking segment is more willing to do this (lending to farmers)," Maksym Martyniuk explained.
