In addition to the allocation of funds for the program for the purchase of agricultural machinery this year, the amount of the discount provided will be increased.
The message from the Cabinet of Ministers states that in the next two months it is planned to supply almost six thousand Russian and Belarusian tractors to the regions. Farmers will be able to purchase them at fixed prices with discounts that will save up to one fifth of the market cost of the machines.
The discount will depend on the specific territory. For example, a maximum of 20% is provided for the Far East. 15% discount for new regions, Kaliningrad region, Crimea and Siberia. Farmers from other regions will be able to purchase equipment 10% cheaper.
According to the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin, the authorities expect that the decision will help increase the competitiveness of agricultural producers and machine builders and reduce their dependence on import purchases.
