Putin promised farmers a comfortable and prosperous life in the countryside

The state will do everything to ensure a comfortable, modern and prosperous life in the countryside. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin on the occasion of the Day of the worker of agriculture and processing industry. The appeal was broadcast on the RUSSIA 24 TV channel.

“We will support this very important sector in every possible way and, in general, will do everything to make agriculture even more successful, and life in the countryside comfortable, modern and prosperous,” Putin said.

During the address, Putin called agriculture one of the flagships of the Russian economy. He also noted that rural tourism is becoming increasingly popular among Russian citizens, which provides additional incentives and resources for the development of small agricultural enterprises and farms.

Last year, addressing agricultural workers, Putin spoke about the stable work of the Russian agro-industrial complex in the context of the covid-19 pandemic . According to Putin, the workers of the agro-industrial complex worked, "showing not only the highest dedication, but also real courage." As a result, there were no interruptions in the food supply.
