Engineers have the task to prepare trucks, sowing and tillage machines for the campaign by April 1, 2015.

According to the AIC engineering department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, there are about 700 repair facilities, over 800 maintenance facilities, about 3,000 skilled mechanizers and locksmiths in the republic.

The year is difficult in terms of spear parts supply. Economic sanctions and currency appreciation have influenced the supply of spare parts.

Taking into consideration the fact that quite a lot of import equipment is used in farm households, the important task nowadays is to place orders for spare parts as quickly as possible. The ministry mechanization service keeps track of spare parts supply and monitors timely machinery maintenance.

3 billion rubles are required to prepare machinery and equipment for field works 2015, where 1.3 billion rubles are needed for the sowing campaign. Taking into consideration the price rise and the need for repairing of import trucks, harvesters and sowing machines, the cost loading for farm households of the republic will increase by about 0.5 billion rubles in total.

According to the recent data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, by January 25 2015 farm households of the republic have bought spear parts amounting to 533 million rubles. 5,949 trucks (64%), 4,178 drill machines (69%), 206 sowing machines (53%) and 4,200 rippers (77%) have been repaired.
