The National Payments Agency says the biggest share of 6.8 mln euros was
paid on August 10, with over 3,500 farmers receiving support.
Early this year, the European Commission also allocated 9.12 mln euros
for compensation to Lithuanian farmers for damaged winter crops or inability to
sow winter crops.
The Lithuanian government plans to pay additional 9 mln euros from the
state budget to farmers affected by downpours.
Last year, downpours caused damage to farmers in around 20 Lithuanian
municipalities.
