4 billion rubles will be allocated to support farmers using domestic seeds. Starting next year, the state will begin compensating agricultural producers for part of the costs of purchasing and sowing domestically selected seeds. Previously, such support extended only to elite seed production. The draft federal budget provides approximately $4 billion to fund the program. The measure will affect participants in more than 50 complex scientific and technological projects. The authorities expect to accelerate the implementation of Russian developments and expand the use of local varieties and hybrids. In 2026, the share of selected seeds in Russia in the planting of major agricultural crops approached 70%. The target set by the president is at least 75%.
