The republic of Dagestan hosted the 25th congress of the Association of Farms and Agricultural Cooperatives. The event was attended by Nariman Abdulmutalimov, the deputy Prime Minister of the Republic, Vladimir Plotnikov the President of the Association of Farmers of Russia and Mukhtarbi Adzhekov, the Minister of Agriculture.

The speakers noted that in 2021 the agricultural producers of Dagestan still demonstrated a dynamic agricultural sector. Compared to 2016, the number of farms almost doubled. Over the past two years, there has also been registered an increase in the number of cattle and small horned livestock. However, the data for Russia as a whole are disappointing. For example, the number of farms has decreased by 48 thousand. Besides, threats and challenges associated with the introduction of economic sanctions against Russia restrain the development of the agricultural sector.
