Representatives of “Georgian Amelioration” ltd met with local population and farmers of the village of Lemshveniera, in Gardabani municipality. The meeting focused on the issues related to the tariffs, irrigation regimes and service conditions.

It was mentioned that the state subsidy on the tariff is intended to support farmers. Producers of both annual and perennial crops pay only for the first irrigation cycle, while the cost of the remaining three irrigation cycles is covered by the government. One irrigation cycle includes a 15-day period. Respectively, farmers can use irrigation water without restrictions for 60 days.

Furthermore, the participants were provided with the information about the importance of signing contracts in a timely manner.  It’d be noted that farmers will pay for the irrigation water service after receiving the service, rather than immediately upon signing the contract.

Similar meetings for ensuring direct communication with the population are held gradually in various municipalities across the country.
