Farms in Udmurtia received 275 thousand tons of milk in the first quarter of the year.

The regional Ministry of Agriculture and Food summarized its performance for the first quarter of 2025. Dairy farming demonstrated robust growth—5% compared to the same period last year.
Stable growth in agricultural production is one of the objectives of the national project "Technological Support for Food Security," which has been implemented since this year by decision of President Vladimir Putin.
This year, more than 3.3 billion rubles will be allocated to support Udmurtia's agro-industrial complex. Udmurtia's Minister of Agriculture and Food, Mikhail Yudin, noted: " Subsidies , known as 'Big Milk,' are provided to support milk production in the republic. By May 1, we will distribute 766 million rubles to our agricultural enterprises and farms. In addition, in May, we will announce a call for applications for a subsidy to support breeding stock."
According to Udmurtstat, the cattle population in Udmurtia exceeds 336,000 head. Of these, 136,600 are cows. The largest dairy herd is found in agricultural enterprises and farms in the Vavozhsky District—11,500 cows. They also produce more milk: 31,000 tons in the first three months. The next-largest producers are the farms in the Sharkansky District, which produced 25,800 tons. The Votkinsk District rounds out the top three, producing 18,700 tons of milk. The Kolos collective farm
in the Vavozhsky District leads the pack, producing 13,400 tons of milk. Russkaya Niva in the Sarapulsky District produced 11,200 tons, and Oshmes in the Sharkansky District produced almost 8,000 tons. Nikolai Sobin, a farmer from the Sharkansky District, has the most productive dairy herd this year. He increased his output from last year by almost 3.5 tons. As a reminder, dairy farming is one of the republic's priority agricultural development areas. Udmurtia annually allocates over 1.2 billion rubles for this purpose.
