The Government of the Russian Federation signed a decree on expanding grant support for novice farmers
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan informs that the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on amendments to the state program for the development of agriculture. The document, in particular, provides the easing of requirements for job creation for recipients of Agrostartup grants. Now the head of the farm will be able to receive up to 2 million rubles, even if he works alone, and over 2 million rubles - if he attracts a new employee. In addition, applicants will no longer be subject to the requirement that they have no tax arrears if the amount of such arrears does not exceed RUB 10,000, which will also make it easier to receive grants.
Agricultural cooperatives will be able to receive reimbursement of the cost of equipment and machinery needed to market their products. At the same time, the “threshold” of the cooperative's revenue was increased, based on the volume of which a subsidy is provided for the purchase of products from the members of the cooperative.
As a reminder, since 2019, 167 farmers have received support in Tatarstan within the National Project "Small and Medium Enterprises and the Development of Entrepreneurial Initiatives" under the "Agrostartup" program for a total of 471.7 million rubles.
