In 2024, the Russian Cabinet of Ministers will allocate about 8 billion rubles for subsidies to farms. The authorities want to expand support measures for farmers in other areas.
In particular, the list of costs of agricultural consumer cooperatives, which are partially covered by the state, will be adjusted.
For cooperatives operating in the regions of Siberia, the share of reimbursed expenses for the purchase of machinery and equipment will be increased to 60%. However, the maximum amount for this type of support will not exceed 10 million rubles.
Another innovation involves the inclusion of consumer societies in the number of agricultural cooperatives, in which at least 70% of revenue is generated through the procurement, storage, processing and marketing of agricultural products.
