Support opportunities for priority areas of small agribusiness within the framework of the State Program for the Development of Agriculture and Regulation of Markets for Agricultural Products, Raw Materials, and Food will be expanded. The resolution on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The state program includes a provision allowing grant support funds to be used for partial repayment of loans taken out by entrepreneurs for the implementation of projects aimed at the development of farming enterprises or agricultural consumer cooperatives, the organization of small rural bakeries, as well as the implementation of agro-projects by participants in the special military operation. The amount of such reimbursement may be up to 20% of the loan amount raised.

In addition, when receiving a subsidy for the purchase of equipment costing up to 3 million rubles, representatives of small agribusinesses will no longer be required to provide confirmation that such equipment is included in the register of Russian industrial products or the register of industrial products without analogues in Russia. This will help reduce the administrative burden on small agribusiness representatives, including those developing rural tourism, and will be especially relevant when purchasing a wide range of equipment.

In 2027, grants will also continue to be provided for milk farm acceleration projects that started this year, enabling such entrepreneurs to reduce financial risks and maintain the pace of modernization in the agro-industrial sector.

Speaking about the decision made at the meeting with deputy prime ministers on November 9, Mikhail Mishustin noted that improving the mechanisms of state support should help small enterprises in the agro-industrial complex.

“They make a significant contribution to ensuring food security and create jobs in rural areas,” emphasized the head of the Government.
