The Romanian Ministry of Finance approved Tuesday the allotting of 1.8 billion lei (EUR1=RON4.2619) to the Ministry of Agriculture, to finance the 70% advance meant for farmers within the support scheme offering single payments on surface in 2009, said interim Agriculture Minister Radu Berceanu.

A Romanian farmer warned Tuesday Agriculture Ministry officials, during the Mediafax Talks about Romanian Agriculture seminar, that he would bring his 1,250 cows to the headquarters of the government, ministry and presidential palace, upset that the state doesn’t support farmers.
