– Now it is difficult to imagine that a few years ago the industry was on the verge of survival. Step by step, we created a legislative framework and introduced systemic support measures. This year we will allocate 2.1 billion rubles for the development of animal husbandry. We invest in agriculture to improve the quality of life in the countryside. Your hard, intense work is healthy food in every home, a guarantee of preserving the fertility of the Kuban land, the prosperity of the villages and farms. Thank you for continuing to do what you love with full dedication, patience and perseverance,” said Veniamin Kondratiev.

The Governor noted that today the Krasnodar Territory ranks third in RUSSIA in terms of MILK production. The number of cattle has increased by 5 thousand heads and totals 560 thousand heads. We increased MEAT production by 7% - in 2021 we produced 594 thousand tons, but the main results are yet to come.
