瑞典农协Lantmännen已经支付了1.5亿克朗（£13米）给其成员帮助他们的企业从夏季干旱中恢复过来。

在斯堪的纳维亚的热浪早已过去，但其仍农民得到的减产收入和增加的饲料成本之间痛苦地夹住。幸运的是，Lantmännen很快就承认了这些问题，并宣布不平凡的支持包，以减轻干旱造成的负面影响。本周的SEK150米被描述为仅该计划下的首付款合作社社员。

“I am really pleased to be able to announce that payment has been made in accordance with the plan we presented in August, and that the money is available in our members’ accounts today," said chairman of the Lantmännen board, Per Lindahl. "Lantmännen's ability to take concrete actions is something I am proud of – this is the power of our farming cooperative."

成员们现在收到的股息由一个额外支付的2％的股息，基于与Lantmännen农业瑞典贸易经过前8个月的一年中。由于支持包的一部分，成员也将获得与Lantmännen交易2％的额外折扣，并补充了剩下的四个个月的一年。此款项将在2019年初进行。

“Reduced income as a consequence of poorer harvests in combination with increased costs due to a roughage shortage and increased cost for feed, has made life tough for Sweden’s farmers," said Lantmännen Group president and CEO, Per Olof Nyman. "I am convinced that this first payment will ease the liquidity situation for our members.”
