PROCEDURE FOR APPLICATION OF A PLEDGE FOR THE FUTURE HARVEST OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS (ANALYSIS OF THE PLEDGE, DETERMINATION OF THE PLEDGE VALUE AND FORMULATION OF THE PLEDGE AGREEMENT FOR THE FUTURE HARVEST)

To analyze the collateral, the Borrower, along with the documents, submits to the Bank:

1. duly certified copies of documents confirming the ownership of agricultural land, or a lease agreement (s) confirming the right to own and use agricultural land;

2. duly certified copies of documents confirming the ownership of the seed material and its quality: sales contracts, invoices, invoices, bills, payment orders, acceptance certificates, etc., as well as certificates and / or seed quality certificates;

3. a list of available storage facilities for storing the subject of pledge (harvested crops) indicating the type of rights to them (ownership, lease, etc.) with duly certified copies of the relevant agreements confirming the ownership (lease, etc.). etc.), and / or concluded and planned for the conclusion of contracts for the storage of agricultural products;

4. a certificate of the agricultural producer on the technical condition and availability of its own agricultural equipment and machine and tractor fleet (MTP) used to carry out agrotechnical measures for the cultivation and harvesting of agricultural crops, with a list of this equipment and MTP, or duly certified copies of agreements concluded between the agricultural producer and the organization that implements harvesting, harvesting from specific fields of the future harvest planned to be pledged and transporting this harvest to storage sites;

5. transcripts to the presented balance sheets, reflecting the costs incurred by the Borrower (in the context of crops) for pre-sowing activities, as well as a list of fixed assets used by the Borrower in production;

6. reports on the production and cost of crop production for the last 3 years, certified by the Department of Agriculture (Authorized Organization);

7. information on the harvest of agricultural crops from all lands for the last 3 years, certified by the Department of Agriculture (Authorized Organization);

8. yield forecast for a specific region for the period corresponding to the crediting period, prepared by the Department of Agriculture (Authorized Organization);

9. the structure of the sown areas of the agricultural producer for the current year, approved by the head of the farm and the chief agronomist (agronomist);

10. technological map for a particular crop with a list and timing of agrotechnical measures for the cultivation of crops, approved by the head of the farm;

11. land management maps drawn up by an organization that has the appropriate license and agreed with the agricultural producer;

12. a plan of sown areas, drawn up by an agricultural producer or an authorized organization and agreed with the Department of Agriculture, indicating the coordinates of the field (s) from which it is planned to harvest agricultural crops both for the purposes of pledge and for the purposes of forming a seed and / or forage fund;

13. calculation of the expected cost of production of agricultural crops (s), the future harvest of which is planned to be pledged to the Bank;

14. a document confirming the level of selling prices of agricultural crops (s), the future harvest of which is planned to be pledged to the Bank, in this region over the last 3 years. The specified document can be drawn up by the Department of Agriculture (Authorized Organization), government agency by statistics or by a pricing authority;

The list of documents specified in this clause may be supplemented taking into account the specifics of the credit transaction. Feasibility study in without fail should contain a calculation of the need for working capital(fuels and lubricants, fertilizers, plant protection products, spare parts and household inventory etc.), as well as planned expenses for the payment wages and taxes at each stage of the implementation of work on growing crops.

The quantitative composition of the future crop yield (the amount of possible collateral) is determined on the basis of:

actual data on the yield (in test weight) of agricultural crops grown by the Pledgor (Borrower) for the last 3 years;

yield forecast for a particular region for a period corresponding to the crediting period and prepared by the Department of Agriculture or an authorized organization;

data technological map for the cultivation of agricultural crops, submitted by the Pledgor (Borrower).

The amount of possible collateral for a specific field is determined as follows:

Vz \u003d Y * S * 0.1, where

Vz - the quantitative composition of the future crop crops (tons);

Y - crop yield (in test weight) corresponding to the minimum yield value for the last 3 years for the given Pledgor (Borrower). At the same time, the yield used in the calculations should not exceed the average predicted yield for the given region (c/ha);

S is the total area of ​​a particular field of agricultural crops (ha);

0.1 - conversion factor from centner to ton.

The collateral value of the future crop harvest is determined by the lending division of the Bank based on the quantitative composition (the amount of possible collateral) and the expected cost of the future crop crop offered for collateral, using the discount multiplier Kz:

Sz = Vz * SSp* Kz, where

Sz - collateral value of the future crop harvest (rubles);

Vz - the amount of possible collateral (tn);

SSp is the expected cost of the future crop harvest (rubles/ton). The expected cost of the future crop harvest should not exceed the sales price of this crop in this region over the past 3 years. In the event that the expected cost of the future harvest exceeds the average selling prices of this agricultural crop in the given region over the past three years, the average selling price of products in the region is taken instead of the expected cost to calculate the collateral value.

Kz - discount factor.

The discount multiplier is set:

Not more than 0.7 - for borrowers with a positive credit history with the Bank for more than 2 years, as well as a positive experience in agricultural work related to obtaining crops, the future harvest of which is planned to be pledged to the Bank, for more than 5 years;

Not more than 0.6 - for borrowers with a positive credit history with the Bank for up to 2 years, but not less than 1 year, as well as a positive experience in agricultural work related to obtaining crops, the future harvest of which is planned to be pledged to the Bank , lasting up to 5 years, but not less than 3 years.

The following provisions must be included in the Harvest Pledge Agreement:

· when determining the subject of the pledge, all existing GOSTs (grade, class) for each type of agricultural product are indicated in order to minimize the risk of not receiving a pledge of products that comply with the GOST (grade, class) not specified in the Harvest Pledge Agreement;

· As the crop is harvested, as well as after it is placed in storage, the crop in its natural form is pledged to the Bank. On a monthly basis, as agricultural products are collected and transferred for storage, as well as upon the sale of agricultural products pledged, the quantitative and / or qualitative characteristics of the pledged crop are clarified by drawing up the relevant additional agreement(s) to the Agreement about the pledge of the harvest;

· in the event that the qualitative and/or quantitative indicators of the crop harvested by the Pledgor turn out to be higher than those specified in the Harvest Pledge Agreement, the first crop in terms of harvesting terms in the amount specified in the Harvest Pledge Agreement is considered to be accepted as a pledge;

· in the event that the qualitative and/or quantitative indicators of the harvest of agricultural crops (s) collected by the Pledgor turn out to be lower than those specified in the Crop Pledge Agreement, the actually harvested amount of the crop is considered accepted as a pledge;

· in the case specified in the previous paragraph, in order to formalize the collateral, the market value of which should cover the obligations of the Pledgor (Borrower) on the principal debt and urgent interest accrued during the period of using the loan, the Bank requires the Pledgor (Borrower):

o pledge additional harvested crops, or

o pledge other liquid property.

If the Pledgor fails to comply with the above requirements, the Bank shall have the right to require the Pledgor (Borrower) to repay the debt in the amount of the excess of the Pledgor's obligations under the Loan Agreement over the amount of the issued security.

in case of violations by the Pledgor of the terms of the Pledge Agreement, including non-compliance by the Pledgor with the necessary agrotechnical measures related to the application of fertilizers, care of crops, harvesting products, as a result of which the quantity and / or quality of products specified in the Pledge Agreement may decrease, The Bank has the right to demand from the Borrower (Pledgor) at its own discretion:

* early fulfillment of all obligations under the Loan Agreement;

* payment of a fine in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement;

* provision of additional security for the Pledgor's obligations under the Loan Agreement;

* replacement of the subject of collateral.

Perhaps this year in Russia will be surpassed the historical record of the harvest of leguminous crops - 133 million tons against 127 million in 1978, more than 900 kg per person. Last year, by the way, they also collected a lot: 120.7 million tons, of which 34.545 million were sold abroad, almost 30%, and the proceeds amounted to more than $5.9 billion.

Such indicators allowed our country to become the world's largest seller of wheat and confidently conquer the markets of such countries as China, Indonesia, Turkey and Egypt. Russian grain is already being bought by 36 countries, and this geography will certainly expand. Forecasts of our grain exports for this year fluctuate in the range of 43-47 million tons, and income from it, if world prices do not collapse, should amount to more than 6 billion dollars.

At the same time, the sown area under grain has significantly decreased, the entire increase in production was achieved by increasing the yield. The average wheat yield last year amounted to 26.8 centners per hectare, and this year it will already come close to the cherished mark for Soviet times of “30 centners per hectare”. Accordingly, on such a forage base it is possible to further develop domestic poultry and pig breeding.

Great news! And yet this record, as they say, "with questions."

Bread is the head of everything?

If we look not at the "shaft", which, of course, everything is in order, but at the quality of grain produced in our country, then we have to state that it is declining, and quite significantly.

The production of durum wheat (I and II classes) in 2016 amounted to about 600 thousand tons out of 73.3 million tons of the total harvest, or less than 1%. At the same time, the quality of soft wheat is also declining: in 2016, the share of grain III class accounted for 22.3% (in 2015 - 36%), class IV - 49.1% (44.1%), and class V - 28.6% (19.9%). This year, the imbalance towards wheat of IV-V classes will only increase: the share of grain of III class will decrease to 11-12%.

It should be said that for the needs of the baking industry, Soviet GOSTs allowed the use of wheat not lower than class III (22–24% gluten). Now, bread is everywhere baked from flour ground from a mixture of class III-IV grains, using special “improving” additives: it turns out cheaper this way. But the protein from this in bread, of course, is not added. The same goes for flour, pasta and other grain groceries. So if we count "in terms of protein" (gluten), then our agriculture is still far from the level of the late 70s and early 80s.

By the way, classes IV and V of wheat were introduced only by GOST 1990, and before that, all wheat with a gluten content below 22% belonged to fodder, that is, suitable for fodder exclusively for livestock. But for the market there is only profit, and if the price of a commodity cannot be increased to the required degree, then the quality of the product must be reduced.

It is unlikely that things will come to the samples of “proletarian” bread with sand and domestic analogues from quinoa described by English authors of the 19th century, but loaves and loaves from “five-grade” wheat, if nothing changes, we will probably have to try, and very soon. It's just that there will be no other grain and other flour in the country - with the exception of "elite" bakeries with "golden" prices for a kilo of "sieve". Everything is like in the classic poem by Francois Villon: “I’m dying of thirst over the stream ...” “We won’t finish it, but we’ll take it out” - in the modern version.

So bread - he, of course, is the head of everything, but after all, the head of the head is different. Sometimes the difference is fundamental.

And what to do?

Really what? Reduce the quality and quantity of products, waiting for new "bread riots"? To somehow subsidize the baking industry, which has been sending signals for several years that it is operating below the level of profitability? To limit the export of grain, thereby reducing prices in the domestic market?

The “bread problem” has always brought together many economic, political and even cultural factors. This knot is worse than the famous Gordian knot, it cannot be cut in one fell swoop, and it is not easy to untie it: if you pull on one, it will overflow in the other ...

Our average compatriot annually consumes 118-120 kg of bread products (in terms of flour), which provides about a third of the calorie content of his diet. Since "bread" calories, along with "potato" ones, are the cheapest, in the event of a fall in incomes of the population, the consumption of bread, absolute and relative, increases, and in the case of their growth, on the contrary, it decreases.

From this it is clear that the cost of the main varieties of bread necessarily turns out to be, one way or another, tied to the level of the minimum wage (minimum wage) in a particular region. This binding means the ability to buy a tenth of the minimum wage 1,500 "bread" kilocalories per day, which approximately corresponds to 500 g of white bread.

THE MAIN DRIVERS OF THE FURTHER GROWTH OF THE RUSSIAN AGRICULTURE WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE AGRIBUSINESS FORUM IN THE FRAMEWORK OF "GOLDEN AUTUMN - 2017"

October 4, on the opening day of the Russian agro-industrial exhibition " gold autumn– 2017”, the central business event of the event will take place – the agribusiness forum “Leadership of the Russian agro-industrial complex: how to ensure high-quality growth”. The event will be held with the participation of the Deputy Prime Minister Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich, Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev, Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply of Brazil Blairo Maggi.

The agro-industrial complex of Russia is rapidly developing today. The country is close to complete self-sufficiency of the domestic market with basic agricultural products. The needs of the domestic market for meat products are now covered by 90%, dairy by 82%, vegetable oil by 84%, grain by 99%.

In addition to strengthening positions in the export of Russian products, the full saturation of domestic markets poses new challenges for agricultural producers to develop the agro-industrial complex in the country.

Satisfied with a wide range of products on the shelves of retailers, the demanding domestic buyer makes ever higher demands on the quality of products.

The experience of developed markets shows that one of the essential factors for ensuring the growth of the industry is the increase in the production of deep processing products, as well as the creation of high-margin food and beverages. To do this, it is necessary to: improve the quality and efficiency of production management and agricultural cooperation, improve approaches to marketing and building relationships with consumers, and improve production technologies.

Participants of the agribusiness forum in the format of an open discussion will discuss:

The main trends in the Russian and world markets for agricultural products and the food industry;

The experience of developed markets in changing the paradigm of the development of the agro-industrial complex: from volumes to value added;

Modern marketing of food products and agricultural products: successful corporate and government practices;

The role of small and medium-sized businesses, agricultural cooperation in the production and promotion of high-quality agricultural products, food, drinks;

Managing the reputation of agricultural producers in the highly competitive global food market;

New sales markets for Russian food products with high level processing.

Sergey Brilev, Deputy Director of the State Customs Committee of the Rossiya TV channel, will be the moderator of the business forum.

The participants of the agribusiness forum will be Vadim Dymov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Dymov LLC; Naum Babayev, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Damate Group of Companies; head of ANO Russian system quality” Maxim Protasov; Andrey Klepach, Chief Economist of Vnesheconombank; Public figure, entrepreneur, co-chairman of the all-Russian public organization "Business Russia" Boris Titov; Managing Director (2004-2017) Irish Food Council Board Bia Aidan Kotter; Syngenta Chief Operating Officer John Parr.

THE GOVERNMENT OF RUSSIA INCREASED SUBSIDIZING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES IN AIC TO RUB 12.9 BLN

On September 28, the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Alexander Tkachev, at a meeting of the Russian Government, presented a draft decree prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture, according to which the procedure for distributing subsidies between regions for 2017 to reimburse part of the direct costs incurred for the creation and modernization of agro-industrial complex is approved.

As a result, the total volume of support in six areas in current year from the federal budget, taking into account the adjustment of the federal budget for 2017, will amount to 12.9 billion rubles, including for:

Greenhouse complexes - 6.55 billion rubles;

Dairy farms - 3.83 billion rubles;

Fruit storage - 316 million rubles;

Potato and vegetable stores - 580 million rubles;

Selection and genetic and selection and seed centers - 724 million rubles;

Wholesale distribution centers - 604 million rubles.

THE GOVERNMENT OF RUSSIA SUPPORTED A BILL THAT SIMPLIFIES LENDING UNDER THE SECURITY OF AGRICULTURAL LAND

On September 28, at a meeting of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Alexander Tkachev, presented a draft law “On Amendments to the federal law“On Mortgage (Pledge of Real Estate)”, which simplifies lending secured by agricultural land.

Lending secured by land is an effective and widely used tool for providing farmers abroad financial resources. For example, in Germany, Great Britain and the Netherlands, banks use general rules and norms for lending secured by agricultural land. In Russia, its use is still insignificant. According to information from Sberbank of Russia and Rosselkhozbank (the main banks lending on the security of agricultural land), about 25,000 land plots with a total area of ​​about 4 million hectares have been pledged, although citizens and legal entities there are more than 128 million hectares of agricultural land. This is due to low liquidity and the length of time for foreclosure on land plots. The current legislation obliges banks to form additional reserves for possible losses, including default by the borrower of obligations under the loan agreement. As a result, credit organizations are not interested in considering agricultural land as collateral.

In order to develop the institution of pledge of agricultural land, the draft law of the Ministry of Agriculture proposes to provide for the possibility of satisfying the claims of the pledge holder out of court; remove the ban on foreclosure on a land plot before the expiration of the period of agricultural work (while retaining the right to harvest for the mortgagor); exclude the possibility of a court delaying the sale of the mortgaged land plot for a period of up to 1 year. The amendments will reduce the time for foreclosure on land plots, which will help credit institutions to classify agricultural land as a second category of quality liquid collateral, the rights to which can be realized within a period of no more than 270 calendar days from the date of occurrence of the grounds for collection

“All this will undoubtedly increase the interest of banks in agricultural land as a pledge and create conditions for attracting additional borrowed funds to the agro-industrial complex,” Alexander Tkachev is convinced.

ALEXANDER TKACHEV: RUSSIA WILL HAVE OVER 127 MILLION TONS OF GRAIN IN 2017

On September 28, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Alexander Tkachev spoke at the Meeting of the Government of Russia, which was chaired by Dmitry Medvedev.

The head of the Ministry of Agriculture reported on the preliminary results of the harvest. Alexander Tkachev noted that this year, for the first time in 15 years, the total sown area exceeded 80 million hectares. The positive dynamics of increasing the area of ​​cultivated agricultural land will continue in the future.

“The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia was cautious in assessing the final gross harvest due to adverse weather conditions in a number of regions, but today 85% of the sown area has been harvested and almost 122 million tons of grain in bunker weight have been harvested. We can say with confidence that a record harvest will be harvested, perhaps in the entire history of Russia and, of course, Soviet Union. I want to remind you that we had a similar harvest in 1978 - this is 127 million tons, but this year we will beat this record, I have no doubt about it, ”said Alexander Tkachev.

The Minister noted that there were no such indicators for the harvest in the entire history of the country. The grain harvest harvested this year will not only cover domestic needs for food and feed grains, but also ensure the export of Russian agricultural products.

In addition, the growth of the grain harvest is able to stimulate the development of animal husbandry within the country, by increasing the fodder base. Today, grain consumption for feed reaches 44 million tons, with the prospect of growing to 46 million tons by 2020.

Speaking about the dynamics of exports, Alexander Tkachev noted that to date, more than 10 million tons of grain have been exported, which is 34% more than the result of the same period last year. With a favorable situation on the world grain market, Russia plans to export about 45 million tons. Including the forecasted export of 30 million tons of wheat, which will allow the country to take a leading position in the export of this crop.

“To stimulate grain exports, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia proposes to allocate 3 billion rubles to compensate for railway tariffs for the transportation of grain from regions remote from port transshipment - Siberia, the Urals, the Volga region and Central Russia. The corresponding draft government decree has been prepared and is already being approved by the interested authorities,” said Alexander Tkachev.

Continuing the theme of record harvests, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture mentioned the high rates of sugar beet harvest - 52 million tons. Such a beet harvest will make it possible to fully provide Russian processing plants with raw materials and produce 6.5 million tons of sugar. As a result, the country will retain its leadership in the global sugar production market. The export potential of the industry this year is estimated at 700 thousand tons.

Good progress has been made in the harvesting of vegetable crops. To date, more than 2 million tons of vegetables have been harvested. The harvest of greenhouse vegetables is growing, the volume of harvested crops is 21% ahead of last year. It is planned to continue the positive dynamics through the construction of new greenhouse complexes and the laying of orchards.

“Summing up the results of this year's harvest, farmers are simultaneously laying the foundation for new records for the next harvesting season. The sowing campaign of winter crops has begun. More than 11 million hectares have already been sown, out of 17.5 million hectares allocated for winter crops,” said Alexander Tkachev.

According to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, the key to a good harvest lies in a combination of factors, namely, in the timely and full provision of plant protection products, fuel, and fertilizers. Purchases of fertilizers have increased by 10% to date.

The readiness of agricultural machinery will allow to complete seasonal field work in the optimal time. However, it is necessary to increase the pace of purchases of agricultural machinery, including by maintaining subsidies in this area.

At the end of his speech, Alexander Tkachev, on behalf of the country's agrarians, thanked the Government of the country, which creates everything the necessary conditions for effective seasonal field work. And the resulting record harvest is proof of that.

In turn, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev highly appreciated the results of the harvesting campaign in the country.

In total, 23.6 centners of a head of livestock were harvested for 1 conditional head of cattle, on the same date last year - 21.7 centners of a head.

MORE THAN 2.75 MILLION TONS OF GRAIN ARE ALREADY HARVESTED IN THE SAMARA REGION

In the Samara region, a grain harvesting campaign is being completed. At the moment, more than 1 million hectares of sown areas have been harvested in the region - almost 94% of crops. Only corn for grain remains in the fields and partially late grains (millet, sorghum).

As of September 28, 2.756 million tons of grain were harvested with an average yield of 28.1 centners per hectare. For comparison, in 2016, the gross harvest amounted to just over 21 million tons.

The highest grain yield is observed in the farms of the Stavropol region (37 centners per hectare) and Koshkinsky region (34.4 centners per hectare). The leader in gross grain harvest is the Stavropol region, where more than 205 thousand tons have been threshed, the Khvorostyansky region (more than 180 thousand tons), the Kinel-Cherkassky region (more than 170 thousand tons), and a number of regions have threshed more than 150 thousand tons (Bolsheglushitsky, Bolshechernigovskiy, etc.). ), in another six districts, the threshed amounted to more than 100 thousand tons. In general, more than 1.45 million tons of grain were harvested from the winter wedge with an average yield of 35 centners per hectare. For comparison - last year the winter wedge gave us 990 thousand tons.

In total, the agrarians of the region harvested 1.6 million tons of wheat, 613 thousand tons of barley, 87 thousand tons of rye, more than 163 thousand tons of oats.

More than 65% of threshed wheat meets food standards. Until the end of the year, farmers plan to increase the gross grain harvest by another 120,000 tons due to the harvest of corn. We can say with confidence that the region is fully self-sufficient in food, fodder, and seed grain. The elevator capacities available in the region make it possible to store up to 3 million tons of grain.

According to the Acting Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Samara Region A.P. Popov, the grain market in the Samara region is currently holding back the desire of grain traders to buy the harvest at the lowest possible price.

“The main issue now is the sale of the harvested crop. An operational headquarters has been created at the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and at the regional ministry, where the possibilities of various methods of supply, including for export, of products produced by our farmers are monitored, the acting minister noted. - We have three shipping points for water, and those trading companies that are in the region are now engaged in the purchase of grain. Only one thing is holding back - the desire of grain traders to buy grain at the lowest possible price in the wake of a good harvest. This is holding back sales to date. But the farms are still in fairly good conditions, which allows them not to throw off the harvest at the lowest possible price, so today the market, like every year, is worth a little. We are now waiting for the sunflower harvest - after the sale of the main sunflower crop, the grain market will operate as normal.”

IN THE SAMARA REGION THE HARVESTING OF POTATOES AND VEGETABLES IS IN FULL STROKE

As of September 28, more than half of the potato sown area has already been harvested in the region.

Vegetable crops were harvested from an area of ​​2 thousand hectares out of 3 thousand hectares, more than 48 thousand tons of vegetables were harvested with an average yield of more than 270 centners per hectare. The farms of the Bezenchuksky district are also in the lead.

Minister of Agriculture of Russia Alexander Tkachev, speaking at the Government Hour “On preparations for spring field work in the Russian Federation”, spoke about the start of the sowing campaign, Russia’s prospects on the world grain market and how the pressing problems of farmers will be solved, including numbers, with the help of state support measures

Alexander Tkachev noted in his speech that a good start of the sowing campaign is one of the key components of a decent future harvest, stressed the importance of maintaining the accelerating growth rate of the agro-industrial complex, and also drew attention to the positive trend in increasing the area of ​​cultivated agricultural land.

“Today, 17.1 million hectares have been sown under winter crops. 95% of winter crops are in good condition,” said Alexander Tkachev.

The Minister said that in 2017 the sown area exceeded 80 million hectares. The return of uncultivated lands to agricultural circulation is a priority task for the department. In 2018, it is planned to increase the sown area by at least another 200 thousand hectares.

Alexander Tkachev believes that the situation on the world grain market provides additional reserves and advantages for the export of Russian grain. The head of the Ministry of Agriculture noted that the record grain harvest of 134 million tons obtained in 2017 will allow exporting up to 45-47 million tons of grain this season.

“Since the beginning of the agricultural season, 28 million tons of grain have already been exported, which is 35% more than last year. Wheat exports rose by a third to 22 million tons. I am confident that we will firmly consolidate the status of the world's largest supplier of wheat,” the Russian Minister of Agriculture said.

The minister told the senators that in order to support farmers, at the end of the year, a mechanism was launched to subsidize the rail transportation of grain from regions with a large logistic shoulder to export ports. So that not only the South of Russia, but also Siberia, and the Volga region, and the Urals, and Central Russia could supply their grain to foreign markets.

To date, more than 100 thousand tons of grain have already been exported on preferential terms from those regions where there were especially large surpluses, for example, from Novosibirsk region. The Ministry of Agriculture, together with the Ministry of Transport, is systematically working to implement this mechanism.

Alexander Tkachev emphasized good export potential not only in grain, but also in the processing industry.

According to preliminary data, export sunflower oil increased by 28% at the end of the year and reached 2.3 million tons. Since the beginning of the season, almost 500 thousand tons of sugar have been exported, which is 7 times more than in last season. Such opportunities opened up thanks to the record harvest of sugar beets. Last year, more than 51 million tons were harvested, which allowed Russia to take the first place in the world in the production of beet sugar, ahead of France, the USA and Germany in this indicator.

Even more soy, rapeseed, flax and fodder crops

Alexander Tkachev said that spring crops in 2018 will be sown on an area of ​​53.5 million hectares (in 2017 - 53.3 million hectares). The area under soybeans, rapeseed, flax, barley and forage crops will also increase.

“In order for the sowing campaign to go smoothly, the primary task of our department and regions is to transfer state support funds to farmers in a timely manner. Thanks to the decision of the President, the support of the State Duma and the Federation Council, in 2018 state support for the industry will remain at the level of 242 billion rubles,” said Alexander Tkachev.

Russian farmers urgently need modern agricultural equipment, stabilization of prices for fuel and lubricants and new elevators

The minister pointed out that in order to successfully complete the sowing campaign, it is necessary to continue re-equipping farmers with modern agricultural machinery. In 2017, due to the increase in support to 15.7 billion rubles, farmers purchased more than 26 thousand pieces of equipment, which is 15% more than was purchased over the past 4 years combined. In 2018, 10 billion rubles are provided for these purposes, which will allow not only to compensate for the disposal of old equipment, but also to multiply the rate of re-equipment of farmers with modern agricultural equipment.

Alexander Tkachev noted that the mechanisms to support the agro-industrial complex implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia are in demand by farmers. One of them is the provision of unrelated support, which allowed for 5 years of the mechanism to increase the application of mineral fertilizers by 33% and, as a result, contributed to the growth of yields and improved efficiency of agricultural production.

Launched in 2017, the single subsidy mechanism made it possible to quickly redistribute budget funds between different areas of support in each specific region, which made it possible to reduce the time needed to bring money to the final recipients and increase the efficiency of using federal budget funds.

The minister pointed out that this mechanism allowed the regions to independently determine the most priority areas for them. The largest share - a quarter of the funds - the regions directed to support farmers.

Another important mechanism for supporting farmers, according to Alexander Tkachev, is concessional lending at a rate of no more than 5%. The launch of this mechanism initiated a real credit boom: in 2017, authorized banks entered into almost 8,000 loan agreements with borrowers in the amount of 630 billion rubles.

The minister noted that, in general, the country's economy is provided with mineral fertilizers and seeds.

Alexander Tkachev drew attention to the situation with prices for fuels and lubricants, saying that gasoline prices increased by 7% in 2017. As a result, summer diesel fuel has risen in price by 18%, winter - by 14%. “We hope that fuel prices will stabilize and will not create serious difficulties during the sowing season. We have applied to the Ministry of Energy with a proposal to fix prices for fuel and lubricants for the period of spring field work and are constantly monitoring this situation,” the minister said.

Alexander Tkachev noted that it is important not only to sow and harvest, but also to preserve it.

“We need new elevators and storage facilities for fruits and vegetables, wholesale distribution centers. This is an opportunity to ensure stable prices for both producers and consumers of products,” the minister said.

Concluding his speech, the minister noted that the Ministry of Agriculture had distributed all the funds to support agriculture, now agreements are being concluded on the provision of subsidies with the regions. “We are in constant operational interaction with the subjects so that the regional authorities promptly bring the funds to the recipients. I am sure that by joint efforts we will successfully and timely carry out the spring sowing,” summed up the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia.
