In the Republic of Altai, nine farmers from the Shebalinsky, Ust-Kansky and Ongudaysky districts purchased more than three hundred heads of Hereford and Kazakh white-headed breeding cattle from organizations engaged in livestock breeding with funds received for the development of the farm under the grant support "Agrostartup" .

The Agrostartup competition, which provides grant support to new farms, is implemented through the activities of the “Creation of a support system for farmers and the development of rural cooperation” of the national project “Small and medium-sized businesses and support for individual entrepreneurial initiatives”.
