The branch of the Russian Agricultural Center in Komi will provide seed potatoes to residents of rural areas. The Ministry of Agriculture and Consumer Market of Komi reported this on the portal "Active Region", responding to the signal of residents of the Koygorodsky district.
In their appeal, they said that they were concerned about the current crop failure of potatoes this fall.
"The Ministry of Agriculture of Komi and the Sysolsk Territorial Agricultural Administration need to conclude contracts for the supply of seed potatoes with enterprises from agricultural regions of Russia in the fall in order to ensure the sowing campaign in the spring of 2018," the villagers noted.
In its response, the agency explained that it did not have the authority to conclude agricultural supply contracts, as did the territorial bodies. The heads of rural settlements can organize work to provide the population with seed potatoes. To do this, they need to prepare a consolidated application from the population and send it to the branch of the Russian Agricultural Center for Komi, which annually brings potato seeds to the republic from other regions upon request.
