Vegetables in Russian

Russia has no shortage of vegetables, and a ban on imports from the European Union will not lead to a shortage of products on the shelves. Russia has no shortage of vegetables, and a ban on imports from the European Union will not lead to a shortage of products on the shelves. This was the main thrust of the past open meetings last week with representatives of concerned departments and companies in the Ministry. The ban on imports was just at the beginning of the vegetable season, when traditionally, the demand for domestic products, will allow Russian market not to raise the prices of vegetables and painlessly survive the termination of supplies from Europe. According to Minister of agriculture Elena Skrynnik, vegetable production in Russia in 2010 year over 13 million tons. The same harvest is expected this year. The share of imported products on the market is in the order of 20% is about 2.6 million tons. Nevertheless, the situation in the vegetable market of Russia is far from ideal. Currently, 70% of the crop is harvested in backyards and only 30% are large agricultural producers and farmers, whose range is not rich. At present, according to the Association "greenhouses of Russia», 70% produced in greenhouses account for 26% of the cucumbers, tomatoes, and 4% is everything else. The dominance of the private sector demonstrates the dominance of subsistence in the market, it's hard to verifiable and does not guarantee stability. So, faced with the negative situation from foreign suppliers, the Government decided to speed up the adoption of a target program for the development of vegetable production in Russia for the period up to the year 2014. The Government program focuses on the development of large and medium-sized vegetable farms. In the first place is scheduled to ramp up the greenhouse sector. In 2010 year greenhouses in Russia produced only 545 thousand. tons of production to the amount of planned 2014 bring to 700 thousand. tons, and by 2020-Mu to 1.7 million tons. For investors in the greenhouse program provides interest rate subsidies for the purchase of equipment (up to 80%), energy costs (up to 30%), as well as the cost of farm machinery, fertilizer and seeds. To help manufacturers get the vegetables in the open field, the Government, in addition to all sorts of subsidies, had adopted a programme of development of land reclamation, which will be subsidized interest rates to buy irrigation equipment. The amount of irrigated land to grow vegetables to 2020 year is planned to bring up to 1 million hectares. But industry players felt these measures insufficient. They suggested that the Government not only to subsidize interest rates on credits on the purchase of equipment and seeds, but also support the production itself, in particular, to develop a mechanism of accelerated depreciation of equipment, or a mechanism for delaying payments for this equipment. The Director of the Hothouses of Russia Natalia Rogova indicated and on the risk factors as increasing competition from non-industrial greenhouses. Growing vegetables in plastic greenhouses, according to her, today active in migrants from the CIS and foreign countries. Technological process of products and the chemicals they use, and are not controlled. According to the Association, only in Siberia today under such greenhouses is 12 k. HA, and the size of the business is growing rapidly. But with the introduction of the ban on the export of products from Europe and the imminent adoption of the federal target program of Russian vegetable grower has opened a second wind. Elena Skrynnik was encouraged by them even more, saying that after a meeting of the Agriculture Ministers of the EU countries, accurate data about the origin of the bacteria and how to fight it, not yet. Before the advent of reliable results in Russia will be a ban.
