Buryatia cuts funding for agriculture by half.
The state plan for the development of the agro-industrial complex for 2027 provides 1 billion 322 million rubles - this is 30.7% (585 million rubles) less than the figure for 2026. Support from the Republican budget is cut in half.
This became known during budget discussions in the People's Khural of the Republic of Buryatia. The Chairman of the Agrarian Committee of the People's Khural of the Republic of Buryatia, Semyon Matyev, called such parameters "causing serious concerns."
Support per acre, subsidies for milk, financing for the expansion of sown areas, technical modernization and land reclamation were cut. Only 7 million rubles were allocated for agricultural insurance, while the required amount is 19 million rubles.

The deficit will be covered by loans: the total public debt will amount to 57.3 billion rubles, of which 39.7 billion from bank loans and 17.6 billion from budget loans.
