According to the press service of the government, Groysman believes that the key areas of work are the support of livestock production, first of all, the creation of new complexes and increase in livestock, targeted support for farmers, as well as support of agricultural machinery enterprises in order to preserve and increase the number of jobs in this sphere and providing agrarians with high-quality domestic production equipment.
“The main thing is to have at the end of 2018 funds and livestock, maximally increased, and saturated with (its own high-quality products) market,” the press service quoted the prime minister as saying.
In the context of supporting farming, the head of government drew attention to the need for early processing of mechanisms for the introduction of effective lending, mechanisms for compensating the cost of equipment – in conditions of purchasing equipment for a particular farm, as well as supporting cooperatives.
