The prime minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Medvedev, said, during the Gaidar Forum 2015, that plans for import substitution in various production industries will be adopted by mid-2015.
“By the end of the first half of the year, plans for import substitution in the production industry should take effect,” Medvedev said. He drew special attention to the large number of exports, including non-commodities.
The agriculture production, including Vegetable production, will be the one of the most important directions for developing Russia’s agro-industrial complex, the prime minister said. He also confirmed new changes to state programs, including speeding up the development of the agricultural complex. Fruits and Vegetables producers are to receive additional support.
“I’m adding that Russian agrarians have already made significant progress,” he said.
