Yes. The same farmer just would not be able to avail of it twice. A farmer in crisis because he or she lost the crop who avails of the crisis fund would therefore be debarred from availing of the loan fund. Just to be clear, my view from what we have just teased out is that there is nothing under the de minimusrules which prevents the Minister from providing a crisis fund to the tillage sector. The only condition for anyone who avails of such a crisis fund is that he or she would not also be able to avail of the loan fund.
