In 2020, the volume of production of organic agricultural products in RUSSIA exceeded 3 billion rubles. This became known during parliamentary hearings in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Deputy Minister Maxim Uvaydov told the deputies about the work of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia in this area
For more than a year, the law “On Organic Products” has been in force in our country - during this time 63 organic producers have been certified. As Maxim Uvaydov noted, more than 140 organizations have shown interest in this area. According to him, the active development of the market for these products in Russia made it possible to increase the volume of its production in 2020 to 3-4 billion rubles.
Producers of organic products have the opportunity to use all the state support measures that are currently available in the agricultural sector. In addition, free certification of organic production by Roskachestvo is provided for small and medium-sized businesses. Manufacturers can also receive compensation for the costs of certification of export-oriented products. In a number of regions, their own support measures are provided - the costs of purchasing fertilizers, plant protection products and biological products are reimbursed, preferential taxation is applied, and subsidies are issued for various purposes.
Rospotrebnadzor urged to deal with non-certified organic products
Domestic products with the "organic" mark are of great interest in the world market due to their high quality. In particular, abroad there is a demand for Russian wild plants - nuts and berries, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as cereals and legumes.
