The event took place on November 17, 2023 with the participation of representatives of government authorities , large business entities and interested parties.
Opening the public hearings, the HEAD of the Department, Oleg Podkorytov, emphasized the importance of a responsible approach to work in the agricultural sector. Nowadays there is a difficult situation regarding animal and plant diseases; it is very important to prevent them from entering our region. The Omsk region must further, with the help of ROSSELKHOZNADZOR , increase its EXPORT potential.
Legislation in the agricultural sector is changing very quickly, territorial administration is trying to quickly, in all possible ways, convey these changes to economic entities.
Deputy Head of the Department Olga Matyka introduced those present in more detail to the current requirements in the field of veterinary medicine. Olga Georgievna highlighted in detail the tense epizootic situation in the Russian Federation and noted that the veterinary inspection service pays great attention to the prevention of violations of mandatory requirements. Thus, specialists conducted 441 preventive visits, including preventive conversations and counseling of controlled persons.
To date, the Register of Exporters includes 426 Omsk enterprises involved in the circulation of regulated goods of animal origin and feed, including enterprises exporting plant products (grain) to CHINA for food purposes, and the Register of Enterprises of the Customs Union includes 197 enterprises. To obtain the right to export, Rosselkhoznadzor specialists certified enterprises for compliance with the safety and quality requirements of their products and all production processes. This work is becoming increasingly intensive: in 2023, there is an increase in exports of MEAT and meat products by 46% (more than 4,700 tons shipped), dairy products by 25% (about 6,000 tons shipped), feed and feed additives for animals by 55% (over 9000 tons shipped).
The head of the department of plant quarantine, quality and safety of grain and seed supervision, Larisa Chernysheva, in her report also analyzed changes in legislation and the main violations committed by business entities. There are also many innovations in this area: on September 1, 2023, the new law “On Seed Production” came into force. The law regulates relations in the field of production, storage, transportation, sale of agricultural seeds, their use, including the provision of services in this area, as well as the import and export of seeds.
As for exports, the procedure for obtaining phytosanitary certificates has been simplified and accelerated for business entities. The main condition is product traceability and its official registration in information systems.
According to the head of the department of state land supervision and control in the field of safe handling of pesticides and agrochemicals, Evgeniy Goman, the largest number of established violations of the mandatory requirements of land legislation are associated with overgrowing and non-use of land for agricultural production. Based on the results of the 3rd quarter of 2023, Department specialists monitored about 37 thousand hectares of agricultural land. It is noted that unused, overgrown, littered agricultural land plots are potential sources of fires. Uncontrolled disposal of the municipal land fund leads to an increase in the area of ​​agricultural land, the legal regime for use of which does not meet the requirements of the law.
Much work is being done to regulate the market of pesticides and agrochemicals. Since July 2021, the Department, together with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Omsk Region, has been registering business entities in the Unified Register of supervised objects of the FSIS "Cerberus", work in this direction continues today. The Department received 1,477 applications from business entities for registration, and included 42,281 supervised facilities where pesticides and agrochemicals are used, which is about 75% of the total number of agricultural organizations subject to registration.
In order to eliminate the risks of poisoning and death of honey bees when processing agricultural crops, the Department sent proposals to the working group under the Ministry of Agriculture of the Omsk Region, distributing methodological recommendations on the prevention of poisoning and death of bees, as well as on compliance with regulations for the use of pesticides and agrochemicals in the production of agricultural products.
Beekeepers are advised not to ignore the requirements of environmental regulations related to limiting the flight of bees, removing bee colonies from the processing area for the required period of time, placing hives (apiaries) on land plots in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, informing the heads of agricultural organizations, local governments, and state veterinary services about the locations of bee apiaries .
