Government's Market intervention programme is yielding results

Published on: Aug 8, 2020 9:00 PM Author: PR Service
The Market intervention programme launched through the second Government package of measures is being successfully implemented and yielding results.

These days, one of the measures by which cheesemakers are freed from surplus cheese that they failed to sell, is being implemented, due to significantly reduced tourist consumption. The cheese is given to hospitals and collective housing centres. In the previous period, in this way, surplus yogurt and eggs were given to the Red Cross and soup kitchens.

The Market intervention programme contains a series of temporary measures whose main goal is to provide assistance to those producers who, in the circumstances caused by the COVID19 pandemic, have difficult access to the market and endangered income and survival of production. These are measures that the state can initiate in emergency cases, with the aim of stabilising the market and preventing potential damages, by intervening in those sectors where it is necessary.

Since the beginning of the epidemic in Montenegro, the challenges faced by agricultural producers and entrepreneurs have been carefully monitored and analyzed. Representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development are in continuous communication with producers. We monitor their business, the problems they face, the market situation. In addition to additional field and administrative controls, decisions were made on the need to initiate some of the market intervention measures.

The Ministry will continue to implement these measures, as long as intervention is necessary in order to maintain market stability and smooth functioning of agricultural production.
