Switzerland increases assistance to Moldovan agriculture
Chisinau, Aug 14 /MOLDPRES/- Switzerland is increasing its assistance to agriculture in Moldova. Thus, a financial support of about 915,000 dollars, granted by Switzerland through the UN Food and Agriculture Organization will help improve food security and maintain the cattle herd in households affected by the drought of recent years, which has drastically reduced the harvest of maize - the main source of fodder for livestock.
The budget supplement will allow to increase the number of beneficiaries from 12,000 to 17,000 small farmers and households who will receive concentrated feed for milking cows, alfalfa seeds, corn and fertilizers. "Due to diversification of agricultural production and increased access to quality feed, farmers will be able to produce more healthy and nutritious food for their consumption and sale. This will help reduce poverty and improve living standards in rural areas," explains the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation is supplementing the funds allocated to the project Emergency support for agri-producers in the context of the socio-economic, climate and energy crisis by an additional 1,155,000 dollars. The project is implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the United Nations Development Programme. The joint initiative was launched in 2022, with a further two million dollars funded by the Austrian Development Agency. In November 2023, Switzerland provided the project with two million dollars.
