As to Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, last year the government prioritized the formation of the supply-side economy, which was impossible without food security.

“More than RUB 500 billion have been allocated to support agriculture. More than 500 thousand hectares of land were put into agricultural use. The production of agricultural machinery has increased by more than 8%, and the production of machinery and equipment for the food industry has increased by almost 40%. In 2023 the second record grain yield in the modern history of Russia was harvested. There are successes in growing potatoes, vegetables, and melons. The production volumes of milk, fruit and berries continue to grow" - Mishustin noted.
