Support for small businesses and the agro-industrial complex (AIC) in regions with low budgetary support should be continued. About this stated First Vice-Speaker of the Federation Council and Acting Secretary of the General Council of United Russia Vladimir Yakushev.
Addressing the proposal to the Ministry of Agriculture, he noted that all support measures relating to small farms should be preserved as much as possible.
“Since 2012, there has been a subsidy for per-hectare support of economic entities included in the unified register of small and medium-sized businesses. This is an important step that contributes to business development and strengthening the local economy,” Yakushev noted.
He emphasized that rural workers and agricultural workers – grain growers, livestock breeders, rural builders and power engineers, land managers and reclamation workers, scientists and all specialists in the agricultural industry – “with their daily work, they have achieved for Russia the status of an agricultural superpower.”
“They ensure her food security. They are modernizing enterprises and introducing modern land use technologies. They are changing the image of the industry that has developed over centuries to a progressive, promising and most modern one,” Yakushev said. According to him, rural workers are distinguished by special energy and dedication, the desire to move forward and invest in what they love. The official thanked them for their dedication to their work and wished them success.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the development of additional measures to support the agricultural sector. The instructions, as noted on the Kremlin website, were given in order to increase agricultural production by at least 25% by 2030, and its exports by at least one and a half times compared to 2021. The Russian leader also ordered to consider the issue of increasing the volume of financing for preferential investment lending to farmers. Putin also proposed that the Cabinet expand support for small businesses, and also demanded to consider the development of land reclamation and the development of infrastructure intended for the export of agricultural products.
