Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev, as part of a working visit to the Luhansk People’s Republic, visited a number of enterprises in the agro-industrial complex and also familiarized himself with the progress of spring field work.
Dmitry Patrushev got acquainted with the pace of barley sowing in the fields of one of the republic’s agricultural enterprises. At present, the work is proceeding as usual, and the farmers are provided with all the necessary material and technical resources. In addition, for the successful implementation of seasonal field work and technical modernization of the industry, Rosagroleasing JSC supplies agricultural machinery on preferential leasing terms.
“As part of the sowing campaign in Novorossiya and Donbass, 200 thousand hectares have already been sown with spring crops, 1.6 million hectares – with winter crops. Our agricultural producers are provided with all the necessary material and technical resources. As part of state support for farmers, including the food and processing industries, about 5 billion rubles have been allocated for these regions. This is significant money that allows them to feel quite confident. We really hope for a decent sowing and harvest as a result,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister visited a number of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex, including a meat processing plant included in the free economic zone. Its products are widely represented in the Rostov, Voronezh, Belgorod regions and the Republic of Crimea.
Since last year, meat processing enterprises in the new regions have been provided with subsidies to support the processing of raw meat into food products in the amount of 20%. This year, 401.4 million rubles from federal funds have been allocated for these purposes.
Also during the working visit, Dmitry Patrushev assessed the production capacity of the largest production complex in Lugansk, where he inspected the bakery shop. The enterprise is the leader in the region in the production of flour, cereals, as well as all types of cereal flakes, pasta, sunflower oil and compound feed. State support for the bakery industry in new regions has increased to 270 million rubles this year.
“The enterprises of Donbass and Novorossiya are operating normally and producing products that are sold not only within the region, but also supplied throughout Russia,” concluded Dmitry Patrushev.
