President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov visited the agricultural fair in the agro-industrial park "Kazan", organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan.

At the opening of the holiday, Rustam Minnikhanov noted that there are about 380 thousand garden plots in the republic. “About a million Tatarstan residents enjoy the benefits of the gardens. Since 2017, there has been a program to support horticultural partnerships on infrastructure issues, and we have already completed the tasks for almost 2 billion rubles”.
The President of the Republic of Tatarstan added that the implementation of the program to support the horticultural movement will continue.
“Especially this year, the garden plots showed their value when we faced the pandemic. I believe that a person who has a garden will always be busy, will have natural products, also for the winter period, ” he said, wishing the gardeners a good harvest.
