16-Mar-2011 (15 years 2 months 24 days ago)Agriculture Minister Mykola Prysiazhniuk said the projects provide for dynamic development of cattle, swine breeding and crop production. There is an ambitious task to increase grain output by 2015 up to 80 million tons a year, to increase the growing of seeds of oil-bearing crops up to 15 million tons and increase meat production to 4 million tons per year, he said.
At the same time, the minister stressed the importance of land reform. "Land is the last national treasure, which can either be sprayed or bring a great social and economic benefit. Therefore, in introducing the sale of agricultural land the most important thing is not to leave peasants without land," he is convinced. According to the minister, protecting the interests of rural masses and farmers is the main task.
