Breeding poultry plants and farms will be able to count on state support. The decree on this was signed by the Chairman of the Government Mikhail Mishustin. The decision will help to increase the raw material base for domestic poultry enterprises, to further develop the production of poultry meat, as well as hatching eggs.

We are talking about reimbursing part of the direct costs for the construction and modernization of complexes involved in the creation of breeding material for domestic poultry farmers. This support mechanism allows one to receive funds from the federal budget for the development of agricultural enterprises. Previously, such a tool could be used by enterprises engaged in, among other things, the creation or modernization of fruit storage and vegetable storage, dairy farms, selection and seed production centers, sheep farms. Now such an opportunity will appear for those agrarians who develop pedigree poultry farming. According to the new decree, the state will compensate them up to 20% of the cost of the object.

State support will be provided within the framework of the state program for the development of agriculture. According to the calculations of the Ministry of Agriculture, such a measure will help ensure the uninterrupted operation of poultry farms and by 2025 almost completely replace imported breeding material with domestic ones.

The document will be published.
