Due to the world economic crisis in 2008, the dairy sector had become unstable and the purchase price of dairy milk has considerably decreased. It was very essential to give a helping hand to farmers, which were struggling with bank payments and farm operating costs. Latvian Rural Advisory and Training Centre (LLKC) in cooperation with Ministry of Agriculture came up with a plan to advice the farms which have faced the financial difficulties. It resulted in a Rural Network funding program, which was created to help such farms.
