Jagodina, Dec.5th, 2009 (Serbia Today) - A group of 120 farmers from Jagodina will visit Austria to meet with the agricultural policy of the country and the benefits offered by the European Union.
The farmers selected for the international exchange have significant plots of arable and they are often engaged in the cultivation of more than one crop. Medium to large size ranchers will also be included in the group which is to travel to Austria, according to the Mayor of Jagodina, Dragan Markovic.
Markovic, who will lead the delegation of farmers, said that Austria will be organizing visits to the farms to provide training and information on how Serbian farmers and ranchers can work inside the EU.
The visit of the farmers from Jagodina to Austria will mark, in a symbolic way, the end of Serbia’s isolation from the countries in the EU and for the citizens of Serbia.
Expenses will be covered by the city of Jagodina, but money for the visit to Jagodina by Austrian consultants is being provided by an EU grant.
