On the microphones addressing to the farmers, 'You are our everything to us' but in reality the farmers have no value.
CHP Niğde MP Ömer Fethi Gürer brought the unlawful interest application of Agricultural Credit Cooperatives, which was brought up by our newspaper but had no solution, to the agenda of the Assembly.
The Minister of Finance and Treasury, Berat Albayrak, answered the question: "Since Agricultural Credit Cooperatives are not agricultural producers or farmers, T.C. Ziraat Bank A.Ş. are not among those who can provide low interest agricultural loans. Therefore, it is not possible to apply the interest rates applied to the loans extended to the producers engaged in agricultural production by the Bank to the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives."
Albayrak stated that Agricultural Credit Cooperatives are not agricultural producers or farmers and that they cannot use low interest agricultural loans. With this statement, it turned out that the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives did not do any work with the government to solve the unlawful interest rate problem applied to the farmers, while Minister Albayrak declared that he is not an agricultural producer or farmer for Agricultural Credit Cooperatives. also contradicted the descriptions.
ALBAYRAK CONSIDERED AGRICULTURAL BANK AGAINST AGRICULTURAL CREDIT!
On the other hand, this statement is seen as the beginning of a troubled process for Fahrettin Poyraz, General Manager of Agricultural Credit Cooperatives. While this explanation revealed that Poyraz did not do any work with the government for the solution of the illegal interest problem applied against the farmer, Minister Albayrak also responded to the question proposal and demanded information from Ziraat Bank instead of Agricultural Credit Cooperatives.
ERDOĞAN'S EXPLANATIONS WERE NONE
Minister Albayrak's statement that Agricultural Credit Cooperatives are not agricultural producers or farmers contradicts the statements of President Erdoğan. President Erdogan, held in March in Beştepe Turkey's Largest Gathering of Family Farmers Cooperative Agricultural Credit Cooperatives of thousands, hundreds of thousands of our partner countries had indicated that the largest farmer organization. Unlike Erdoğan's statements, Minister Albayrak drew attention.
Decisions of the Council of Ministers
As it is known, discounted agricultural loans have been extended to farmers only by Ziraat Bank and Agricultural Credit Cooperatives with the decision of Council of Ministers. In other words, the Agricultural Credit Cooperatives is a farmer's organization. Minister of Treasury and Finance Berat Albayrak ignored the decisions of the Council of Ministers and stated that Agricultural Credit Cooperatives are not agricultural producers or farmers.
