Stavropol Krai, a region located in the southern part of Russia, has been making significant progress in import substitution in the agricultural sector. According to the Governor Vladimir Vladimirov, the region has achieved 100% self-sufficiency in spare parts, seeds, fuel, and fertilizers. In a recent direct line with the governor, the development of agriculture and the pace of import substitution were discussed. The region is currently working with local universities, research institutes, and farmers to establish a major seed center and become a leader in import substitution.
The government’s efforts to support agriculture in Stavropol Krai are yielding positive results. The region has been approved for more than 10 billion rubles in preferential loans, with 80% of the funds allocated for spring fieldwork. The region’s commitment to self-sufficiency in agriculture has helped reduce its dependence on imports, which will eventually benefit farmers and the overall economy in the long run.
The establishment of a major seed center in Stavropol Krai will be a crucial step towards achieving self-sufficiency in seed production. The center will allow for the production of high-quality seeds that are adapted to local climatic conditions, thus reducing the need for imports. Additionally, the development of livestock breeding will further reduce the region’s dependence on imported meat and dairy products.
Stavropol Krai’s efforts to become a leader in import substitution in agriculture are commendable. The region’s commitment to self-sufficiency will not only reduce its dependence on imports but also create new opportunities for local farmers.
