Makhachkala, July 4, 2019. The Republican Ministry of Agriculture and Food reported that Dagestan rice producers are entering the Russian and international markets. At present, Dagestan ranks second in Russia after Krasnodar Territory in terms of white grain growing volumes. In the near future, the region plans to increase the volume of rice harvesting fr om 82 thousand up to 150 thousand tons.

It is worth noting that the regional government considers this direction to be promising. The rice fields are mainly located in Kizlyar, Khasavyurt, Tarumovsky and Babayurt municipal districts. According to the ministry, the budget allocated approx 120 million rubles for the rice growing industry development. However, the main obstacle to the rapid industry development is the water supply problem. In this regard, the modernization of nearby land reclamation facilities has begun.

The head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov, noted that the area of rice plantations in the republic by 2025 would have been expanded by more than 3 thousand hectares up to 22 thousand. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to build new and to reconstruct the existing engineering rice systems on the 1,800 hectares.
Besides, there are three plants in the region, wh ere about 80% of the produced raw material is processed.
