“Eleven beginning farmers in the Sverdlovsk region will receive grants of up to seven million rubles. 75.3 million rubles will be allocated from the regional and federal budgets from the regional and federal budgets for the development of dairy and MEAT livestock farming, as well as for the development of pedigree sheep farming under the Agrostartup program,” the statement says.

Also, agreements will be concluded with grant recipients for five years, according to which they plan to implement their business projects and achieve targets for meat or MILK production.

Beginning farmers can use the received grant to purchase land, develop a construction or reconstruction project, renovate premises, connect to networks, purchase animals, purchase planting material or equipment.
