62. Overall Observations
Conflict has disrupted economic activity, impacting both enterprises and the workforce in the surveyed areas
Proximity to the contact line created more challenging situations for Donetsk and Luhansk businesses but rural- urban composition is also important
Vocational training, support for food production, and access to credit can help affected populations but will have limited impact on the long-term situation in a region facing development challenges

66. HAY DISTRIBUTION
In March 2017 FAO distributed 55 tons ( approx. 800 kg per household) of hay in villages of Bakhmut rayon near the contact line: Zhovanka, Bakhmutka, Mayorsk, Peski, Dacha.
Actual time for such distribution – from November till April.

67. HENS DISTRIBUTION
Instead of buying one-day or three-weeks chickens there is a possibility of distributing laying hen (egg-production) from poultry farm. Such hen saves their egg-laying capacity, are quite very cheap and there is no need to provide start fodder with them.

68. OTHER FARMERS NEEDS
Due to high price farmers need such kind of assistance:
chemical fertilizers
diesel fuel
