An important step has been taken in our country to encourage agricultural workers and increase their income. Signed by our President on May 8, 2026, Decree No. PF-82 serves as real financial support for peasant and farm enterprises.
With this document, starting from the 2026 harvest, a new system for covering credit interest rates is being introduced by the Agency for Payments in the Agricultural Sector under the Ministry of Agriculture.
Beneficial offers for cotton growers
Incentives for farms engaged in cotton cultivation are distributed according to the loan repayment period:
For disciplined payers: If the concessional loan is repaid within the period specified in the contract, a 2.5 percentage point of the paid interest will be covered by the state.
Full repayment by year-end: If the debt is fully cleared by December 31, the compensation amount increases to 5 percentage points. This helps farmers retain their working capital.
Incentives for early repayment in wheat farming
Grain-growing farms have not been left out either. For entrepreneurs who fully repay loans taken for wheat expenses by August 1 of the harvest year, a 4 percentage point of the interest payment will be refunded.
Relief provided to textile clusters
The new Decree also creates conveniences for enterprises and clusters engaged in cotton processing and yarn production. Specifically:
For commercial loans allocated for cotton procurement, the portion of interest payments from 8% to 16% will be compensated. This creates a foundation for reducing production costs and increasing product competitiveness.
Important goal: These new measures will significantly alleviate the interest burden on agricultural producers. This allows for increasing labor productivity in the sector and providing the agrarian industry with stable financial resources.
After all, the improvement of the financial condition of the farmer, who is the true owner of the land, is a guarantee of abundance and affordability in our country's markets.
In your opinion, how will such incentives affect cotton and wheat yields?
