Workers in the agriculture and processing industry of Pridnestrovie celebrated their professional holiday on the 21st of November. Congratulations and words of gratitude for their work were addressed to them by the leadership of the Supreme Council.

An additional 2 million rubles were allocated for subsidies to agricultural enterprises and peasant farms for milk production. Such a program has been operating in the republic for several years to ensure food security. The amount for subsidies in case of an increase in milk production has been increased in the budget 2021.
