The amount of subsidies in the Khabarovsk Territory for the delivery of food products to remote northern regions was increased by 20 million rubles, a correspondent was told IA REGNUM in the government of the region.
Entrepreneurs involved in the delivery of food to the Tuguro-Chumikan, Okhotsk, Ayano-May districts are compensated by transportation costs.
“Given the high social significance of the northern delivery, the regional government has maintained the volume of allocated funds at the level of last year. However, this year the share of co-financing from the municipal areas has been increased. In general, this will increase the volume of subsidies by almost 30%. Thus, entrepreneurs will be able to deliver more goods. First of all, we are talking about vegetables and potatoes, which are not enough in the north, flour, and a number of other positions, ”the Territory Ministry of Agriculture explained.
As reported IA REGNUM, in the remote northern regions of the Khabarovsk Territory, food prices broke all conceivable records. Entrepreneurs attribute this to high shipping costs.
