The region has decided to allocate more than 10 million rubles from the regional budget to subsidize the production of potatoes and vegetables in 2021. Grants will be issued to farmers and agricultural producers. Together with industry support for crop production, this measure will increase the region's self-sufficiency in its own vegetables.
This year, the relevant ministry plans to increase potato production by local agricultural producers to 128 thousand tons. Last year, all categories of farms in the region produced 85 thousand tons of potatoes. The dynamics were influenced by the flood situation. The average annual production in the region remains at about 100 thousand tons per year.
