This agricultural machine corresponds to the maximum extent of the needs and opportunities of Dimitar Krasimirov Vassilev's farm for the development of the agricultural activities.The technique covered by the investment will be exclusively used to process the own crops and  land. The main subsidy is 60% of the total eligible costs, with a 10% surcharge, due to the fact that the activity on the holding develops in the territory of a mountainous less-favored area or a total subsidy is of 70%. For the implementation of the project Dimitar Krasimirov Vasilev will use an investment loan in the amount of 70% of the approved investment costs.The economic effect of purchasing the new equipment on the business is proven in the current business plan. The purchase of new modern equipment will reduce the cost of external services, and hence mechanized processing and unit cost in general. This in turn leads to higher profitability of the activities in the farm.After realization of the investment, it is envisaged to restrict the dependence on performing external mechanized or manual labor whose use adversely affects the economic development of the farm, its profitability from agricultural activity and the quality of the production.
