breeding in Russia is one of the most promising industries.Thanks to products produced in this area, it is possible to provide the population with food and goods of light and leather products.Today, however animal husbandry in our region does not receive adequate financial support that hinders its development.
Current state of livestock in Russia
The Russian government takes all possible measures to support agriculture, particularly livestock production in our region.However, the statistics of livestock says only a gradual decline.Livestock development is stagnating.If in the early 90-ies of XX century, the number of indicators of cattle reached a key mark of 57 million, by 2009 there was a two-time decline.
This rollback agriculture became determinant of that on the shelves of animal products presented are not made in Russia, but also abroad.This was the reason why the search for high-quality, but affordable meat is almost impossible.
Statistics
dynamics of economic profitability of livestock production in Russia can be traced with the help of statistical data, which are provided by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.

reasons for the decline of agriculture in Russia
Meatand dairy farming in Russia is in the doldrums for a number of reasons, which are skilled in the field say openly:
- Firstly, the production requires large investments, but the return from the sale of goods takes place in severaltimes longer.Unlike other areas in the production cycle of meat or dairy animal is stretched over several years, which does not make a profit immediately.
- Secondly, agriculture in most regions of the Russian Federation has been in decline due to the fact that the modernization of the production is not possible due to the high prices of new equipment.
- Third, constantly increasing role of imported products on the Russian market caused a decline in production.This has made livestock production in Russia completely useless, since farmers can not make a profit from their work.
- Fourth, agriculture is not an attractive area for foreign investment.Government loans are small, which dooms many farms to bankruptcy.
What else affects the prosperity of agriculture?
course, that agriculture depends on climatic conditions.The economic efficiency of the production will be only if the originally invested less money in development.In other words, the regions with a tropical climate are more promising in terms of development of animal husbandry than actors located in moderate or semi-desert areas.
Modern equipment allows you to create a comfortable climate for the development of animal husbandry in our region, but in any case it will affect the quality of feed for livestock.Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that the optimal climate conditions are an important determinant of resource-intensive and profits.
policy of the Russian Government to support agriculture
Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation takes all measures to help reduce the import of meat and raising farms.
- Thanks to close cooperation with the banking sector businesses provide credit facilities that allow you to complete the production cycle.For livestock in our region supported the Agricultural Bank, which allocates substantial funding to complete the construction of large industrial facilities.
- The Russian government provides subsidies to help manage interest rate to pay off the loan for the construction of new livestock facilities.
- The federal budget of Russia laid a separate article to provide material aid to the regions of the state in the field of agriculture.Government programs can bring livestock in our region to a new level, to raise the production of livestock for slaughter and milk production.
Prospects for the development of agriculture in Russia
Russia's WTO accession has played a dual role in the development of domestic agriculture.On the one hand, the value of agricultural machinery will be significantly reduced, making it affordable even for small production.On the other hand, the ratification of the treaty of the WTO includes entry to the Russian market of imported products at low cost, thus increasing competition in this area.High resource-intensive will be a key factor which will cause a further decline of agriculture.
only way out of this situation - the state support of domestic producers.It should reduce the tax rate for local farmers, provide significant financial support in areas with harsh climatic conditions.Only in this case livestock production in Russia will be able to be competitive.
