Lipetsk agricultural cooperatives will receive subsidies under the national project in all three areas by the end of May

Two selections for the provision of subsidies to agricultural consumer cooperatives are starting in the region today: for the purchase of property for the purpose of its subsequent transfer to the ownership of members of the cooperative and for the purchase of specialized vehicles, equipment for storage, processing, labeling, transportation and sale of agricultural products, as well as mobile shopping facilities to provide services to members of the cooperative.
These subsidies are issued to agricultural cooperatives within the framework of the national project “Small and Medium Enterprises and Supportindividual entrepreneurial initiative” annually. Applications for the above two directions this year are accepted until April 28 inclusive. Cooperatives that have passed the selection will receive funds by the end of May. This year, 31.6 million rubles are planned for the purchase of property for members of the cooperative, 36.8 million rubles for vehicles, equipment and mobile shopping facilities. Recall that this week agricultural cooperatives will already receive subsidies for the purchase of agricultural products from members of the cooperative and self-employed household plots.
Supply and marketing and processing cooperatives of the region make a significant contribution to the development of the agro-industrial complex and ensure the growth of additional incomes for the rural population. At the beginning of 2023, 359 agricultural supply, marketing and processing cooperatives were registered in the region. They involve about 40 thousand personal subsidiary farms. Last year, only within the framework of the national project "Small and Medium Enterprises", 25 Lipetsk agricultural cooperatives received 64 million rubles.
For the 5th year, the region has been participating in the implementation of measures to support the development of cooperation within the framework of the regional project "Acceleration of small and medium-sized businesses", which contributes to the achievement of the goals, indicators and results of the federal project "Acceleration of small and medium-sized businesses" of the national project "Small and medium entrepreneurship and support of individual entrepreneurial initiative”. In 2023, the volume of state support provided to agricultural consumer cooperatives under this national project will amount to 97 million rubles. Cooperatives also have the opportunity to participate in the competition for grants.
