To do this, a face-to-face interview was held with each participant of the competition, where he defended his project. The members of the commission were also interested in the experience and experience of the farmer in the industry, the opinion of the heads of departments and departments of agriculture of municipalities, as well as the heads of rural settlements about the business qualities of each participant in the competition, – said the head of the department.
To receive grants, the heads of the peasant farms had to fulfill certain conditions. In particular, to carry out its activities in the rural areas of Adygea, and the debt to pay taxes and fees should be absent or not exceed the amount of 10 thousand rubles. In addition, the commission took into account the presence of enforcement proceedings, that is, if the bailiff service introduced these proceedings for any amount, then this was the basis for refusing to participate in the competition. Each KFH must provide co-financing in the amount of at least 10 percent of the cost of the project that it will implement.
