Romania’s Government wants priests to convince farmers to join cooperatives

The budget for this program amounts to EUR 2.2 million for five years, reports local Profit.ro.

Romanian farmers are still reluctant to join cooperatives. Only 1% of the total number of farmers are part of producer associations. The Government’s target is to get about 20% of the small and medium farmers to join cooperatives and associations by 2020.

The Agriculture Ministry will collaborate with priests, because the Church is highly trusted in villages. Priests should explain to farmers the advantages of joining associations.

Three years ago, the Ministry Agriculture also collaborated with the Orthodox Church for convincing farmers to access EU funds.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
