If you look at the index of agricultural production in recent years, the most disastrous was 2010. The first reason is drought. In 2011. managed to overcome the crisis and get ahead significantly - 130%.
In 2012. positive dynamics continued - almost 111%, in 2013. - again losses - 94%. In 2014. production increased, the index rose to 104,4%, in 2015. - up to 102,2%, in 2016. the decline was again recorded - 95,7%.
In 2017. the index continued to decline - 93,2% (17th place among the regions of the Central Federal District). This result last year, in particular, was caused by the low yield of potatoes, fodder and grain crops, vegetables, as well as the consequences of the African swine fever epidemic, foot and mouth disease, etc.
But it seems that a series of unfavorable coincidences is coming to an end. In 2018, the agricultural production index stopped falling. One of the main growth points was the excellent potato harvest. Compared to 2017, it was harvested in agricultural organizations by a quarter (126%), and in households - by a third (133%).
