Russia may legislate the concept of "farm product"

"It is proposed to consider the legislative consolidation of the concept of "farm product" in order to prevent potential misleading of the consumer. This group of goods to support SMEs in the agro-industrial complex can also be promoted in the public procurement system for baby and school food," the report says.

The Deputy Prime Minister stated at the meeting that a wide range of support measures are provided for farmers in RUSSIA in terms of marketing products. For example, the state program for the development of agriculture and the regulation of agricultural markets provides for subsidies for small businesses and their associations. In addition, farmers can take advantage of preferential investment loans for a period of two to five years to organize trade facilities and equipment. The mentioned program has extended its action to private farms - now agricultural producers can buy products from them using state subsidies.

Victoria Abramchenko recalled that the Russian Ministry of Agriculture had signed agreements with Ozon and Yandex to assist small farms in selling their products. In particular, Ozon trained more than 170 farms on integrating products into the site. Yandex services cooperate with local product manufacturers in each region of presence. The Deputy Prime Minister also said that the Svoe Rodnoe marketplace from Rosselkhozbank has become the largest in the segment of farm products. Almost 11,000 farms are represented on the platform, which are ready to offer over 110,000 types of products. More than 1 million people have already become users of the platform. On average, 50 thousand orders are made per month. In this case, no commission is charged from farms,
