PRIA Agriculture Conference & PRIA Romanian Farmers Awards

Romanian Farmers from Transilvania will be recognized during PRIA Agriculture Conference & PRIA Romanian Farmers Awards, that will take palce on June 14th 2018, at Grand Hotel napoca, Viena Hall, starting wit 9.30.

Conferința PRIA Agriculture și Gala Fermierilor Români din Transilvania is one of the most important events for agriculture and represents a real platform of debate between farmers, associations, central and local authorities. During PRIA – Romanian Farmers Awards Gala, we will recognize the efforts and the contribution of Romanian farmers who have invested financial resources, hard work and experience over time, contributed to the development or maintenance of Romanian agriculture to have a good place in the EU. We will recognize the efforts and the contribution of the Romanian farmers that invested Romanian capital, time, labor, knowledge and energy to Romanian agriculture – crucial engine of the Romanian economy. We will also recognize the merits of researchers and those who have helped maintain our agriculture.

The agriculture is vital for the whole world. EU allocates a big budget and a special attention for this sector. This is why the Common Agricultural Politics consolidates the competitiveness and sustainability for the agriculture in EU by granting direct payments of farmers, market measures and financing programs for the development of rural areas in the Union.

Because the agricultural sector is extremely important and because the Romanian farmers have done much for Romania’s agriculture, at the PRIA Agriculture conference we will award and applaud the activity, the energy, the work done and the patience of them. We will also find out what challenges they are facing and why they need to grow their businesses, but also what their success stories are.

At the second edition in Romania, through PRIA Gala Romanian Farmers, we will highlight and make people aware of the role and role of Romanian farmers in the development of agriculture in our country.
