Successful development

The HEAD of the Ministry of Agriculture discussed the achievements and development prospects of the regional agricultural industry with the Rais of the Republic, Rustam Minnikhanov. In particular, the Republic is one of the leading dairy regions: for example, last year the MILK yield per cow in agricultural organizations was 8.5 tons, 5.6% more than the 2023 level.

Increased production allows for active growth of exports , including high-margin products: sunflower and rapeseed oil , mayonnaise and other sauces, as well as chocolate. Since the beginning of the year, deliveries abroad have grown by almost 2% compared to the same period last year.

Special attention in Tatarstan is paid to the development of rural infrastructure. Almost 10.5 billion rubles have been allocated to the region for the implementation of the state program KRST over five years, and another 2.5 billion rubles in 2025.

Another topic of discussion was the staffing of the agro-industrial complex. This year, Kazan State Agrarian University fulfilled the plan for targeted recruitment for bachelor's and specialist's degree programs, and work is underway to accept master's and postgraduate students, as well as foreign students. The system of specialized school education is also developing: in 2025, at least 20 agrotechnical classes will open in Tatarstan in different municipalities.
