Small agricultural business will receive additional support.
Access to government support will be extended to small agricultural businesses. Changes were made to the state program for agricultural development to make it easier for farmers and cooperatives to use the grant funds and reduce the administrative burden.
What changes for entrepreneurs:.
Grants can be used to repay loans. We are talking about loans taken to develop a farm, an agricultural consumer cooperative or to open a small rural bakery. Also, participants in a special military operation to carry out agricultural projects will be able to receive support. The state will return up to 20% of the loan amount.
Reduction of administrative burden. Farmers, including those involved in rural tourism, no longer need to certify that equipment worth up to 3 million rubles is included in the register of Russian industrial products. This is especially convenient for those who purchase a large variety of equipment.
Support for barns has been expanded. In 2027, entrepreneurs who launched dairy farm acceleration projects this year will continue to receive grants. This will help them reduce financial risks and not slow down the pace of modernization.
Mikhail Mishustin noted that improving the state's support mechanisms should help small enterprises in the agro-industrial complex: they make a significant contribution to food security and create jobs in rural areas.
