About measures of support of agrarian and industrial complex

03.08.2018

Measures to support the agro-industrial complex were discussed in the government. The deputies of the Supreme Council, members of the profile parliamentary committee, Igor Yarych and Sergei Pisarenko participated in the conversation. This was reported by the press service of the government.

This year the state began paying dairy subsidies to farmers at a rate of 50 kopecks per liter. The meeting noted that this was a good help for milk producers. Production volumes increased by more than 10% in six months.

This year, for direct delivery of 1 kilogram of milk for industrial processing, direct support of the state is 50 kopecks. According to experts, next year it should be raised to 1 ruble. This will allow reaching an equal commercial level with other countries.

The Minister of Agriculture Efimy Koval led the positive dynamics in this direction. Only this year, thanks to state subsidies to milk producers, the number of farmers ready to deal with this direction has increased.

In addition, measures of support in such a direction as the laying of perennial plantations of stone fruit crops were discussed. It was emphasized in the course of the meeting: it is necessary to develop the cultivation of cherries, plums, apricots and peaches. This is one of the most popular destinations for export.

It is proposed to consider a program approach - to support not with direct subsidies, but with concessional or interest-free lending.
