The Ministry of Agriculture will abolish 216 management positions and will reduce the number of budgetary authorities by 73, aiming to streamline and reduce salary expenses.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has announced a significant reorganization, which includes the elimination of 216 management positions and a reduction in the number of budgetary authorities by 73, from 166.

These measures, approved through a government ordinance, aim to increase administrative efficiency and reduce bureaucracy, so that farmers receive faster responses and improved public services. According to the ministry, the reorganization will lead to a decrease in salary expenses by at least 10% and will simplify the decision-making process by eliminating institutional overlaps.

The ministry emphasizes that, despite the reduction in administrative expenses, the priority remains financial support for farmers, with personnel expenses representing only 6.8% of the MADR budget. The ultimate goal is to provide more efficient public services and to better coordinate agricultural policies at the national level.
