Starting May 20, 2020, farmers can enjoy discounts on diesel using their agro-cards as part of the government anti-crisis plan.

The diesel limit is 150 liters per hectare of a registered land plot.

Natural and legal entities owning registered land plots of 0.25 hectares and more agricultural land plots can engage in the project.

The Georgian Ministry of Agriculture and SOCAR Georgia Petroleum company signed a collaboration deal to implement the project.

As Director of SOCAR Georgia Petroleum Levan Giorgadze told report.ge, the program-involved farmers will be able to buy diesel 0.20 GEL cheaper than the price shown in the consolidated tender from the SOCAR Georgia Petroleum wholesale bases.

He says a similar discount will be 0.16 GEL directly at the petrol stations.

The deal with the government is valid until the end of 2020.

Levan Giorgadze says that the price will be counted per month.

''The calculation will be as follows: the consolidated tender price is cut 0.16 GEL if [fuel] is taken out of petrol stations, while the discount equals 0.20 GEL if it is purchased at oil-bases,'' he said, adding that the company has sold about 740,000 liters of diesel thus far.

In Giorgadze's words, the discount is available at 89 fuel stations.

"The program is efficient for the farmers and us as well,'' Giorgadze added.
