According to the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, the country's agricultural producers in 2022 purchased about 4,3 million tons of mineral fertilizers in the active substance, which is almost 7% higher than in 2021, reports official website of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia.
The Republic of Bashkortostan also shows good dynamics in this direction. If a year ago the economy of the region purchased 80 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers in the active substance, then this year - already 94 thousand tons. Thus, the growth was almost 17%.
“Agrarians of Bashkortostan managed to harvest a record harvest of grain and leguminous crops not only due to good weather conditions, but also due to the increased use of mineral fertilizers,” said Ilshat Fazrakhmanov, Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Belarus, Minister of Agriculture. “In order for high yields to become a traditional phenomenon, it is necessary to further increase the use of mineral fertilizers.”
Recall that the purchase of mineral fertilizers is subsidized from the regional budget. In 2022, more than 300 million rubles were allocated for these purposes.
