Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with the head of the Republic of Mordovia Artem Zdunov. The issues of development of the agro-industrial complex and ecology in the republic were discussed.
The agro-industrial complex of Mordovia has been showing growth for more than 10 years. Last year, the volume of gross agricultural output amounted to almost 118 billion rubles: more than 1.3 million tons of grain were harvested with the best yield in the Volga Federal District, as well as more than 1 million tons of sugar beet. This year, Mordovia plans to sow 755 thousand hectares with agricultural crops. The head of the region emphasized that farmers are fully provided with all the necessary resources, including fuel and mineral fertilizers. Thanks to the use of domestically selected seeds, import substitution volumes are increasing for a number of crops.
According to the results of last year, Mordovia ranks third in Russia in milk production. In 2024, the region produced more than 550 thousand tons of milk, which is more than the year before. In January-March of this year, growth was also recorded compared to the same period last year. More than 2 billion rubles from the federal budget will be allocated to support the agro-industrial complex of Mordovia this year.
A lot of work is being done in Mordovia within the framework of the state program “Integrated Development of Rural Areas” – the region has been allocated about 1.5 billion rubles.
Special attention during the meeting was paid to the results of the implementation of the national project “Ecology” and the region’s participation in the new national project “Ecological Well-being”. The head of the region spoke about the progress of updating the infrastructure for the storage and processing of solid municipal waste. Dmitry Patrushev called for accelerating the work to eliminate unauthorized dumps in the region.
