Minister of Agricultural Policy and Food of Ukraine Taras Kutoviy plans to resume negotiations between the Finance Ministry of Ukraine and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on the system of tax incentives for farmers.

"All that I want to change is entering into negotiations with the Finance Ministry and the IMF on revising the conditions and framework of work of the agroindustrial complex in the context of support and tax regulations," he told reporters in Kyiv.

He said he plans to meet with the leadership of the State Cadaster Service to discuss turnover of agricultural land.

"There is no time to hide from this. I was the author of the bill on the extension of the moratorium [on the sale of land]," Kutoviy said.

He also announced the plan to continue the course of the former minister to the privatization of state enterprises.
