Agricultural producers of Transbaikalia are ready to at least triple the production of potatoes and vegetables in the next five years, the Minister of Agriculture of the Territory Denis Bochkarev said at a meeting on ensuring food security in the region.
“According to Rosstat, the Trans-Baikal Territory provides itself with potatoes by 68%, while more than 90% is produced by private farms. To increase production volumes, farmers need to compensate for the costs of purchasing machinery and equipment and building vegetable stores with a total capacity of 15,000 tons. In this case, in five years, agricultural organizations of the region are ready to increase the production of vegetables and potatoes by 3-4 times,” said the head of the agricultural department.
