This was discussed during a meeting that Prime Minister Vasile Tofan held with farmers to identify specific measures to streamline their operations and increase predictability in the agricultural sector. The Prime Minister discussed a number of pressing issues with members of the National Farmers' Federation, including access to financing, debt restructuring, and reducing the administrative burden. The farmers raised the issue of the need for long-term lending and the expansion of financing mechanisms tailored to the specific needs of agriculture. They also touched on issues related to debt restructuring and ensuring the fulfillment of guarantee obligations, the application of a moratorium on enforcement proceedings, and the payment of bailiffs' fees. "We need to strike a balance so that banks are interested in lending to agriculture, and farmers have the necessary tools to finance their operations and protect themselves during more challenging times. We need sustainable solutions that will work for both farmers and the financial system," said Vasile Tofan. The meeting also discussed measures to streamline farmers' operations, including the adoption of a "one-time" reporting principle and the simplification of mechanisms for day laborers. The Prime Minister reaffirmed the government's support for deregulation measures aimed at eliminating unnecessary procedures and facilitating economic activity. Regarding the situations reported by farmers in connection with on-site inspections, the Prime Minister noted that he would ask government agencies to ensure that inspections are justified and to prevent the creation of unreasonable obstacles for farmers. Discussions also focused on the reimbursement of excise tax on diesel fuel used in agriculture—a measure supported by the Cabinet of Ministers—as well as subsidy mechanisms for the sector. According to the government, issues raised by farmers that require legislative amendments or interagency decisions will be addressed at joint meetings with the relevant agencies. The dialogue with farmers will continue so that their proposals can be translated into concrete measures to support and streamline agricultural activities. // 15.09.2026 — InfoMarket.
