Agricultural enterprises of the region purchased last year 64 tractors, 73 grain harvesters and one forage harvester, 86 units of trailed equipment (mowers, plows, seeders).
Among the leaders in technical re-equipment are Promyshlenovsky, Leninsk-Kuznetsky, Krapivinsky and Prokopevsky districts. In addition, for grain processing in 2022, 30 drying complexes were built in 11 municipalities and 6 were reconstructed.
“Modern agricultural machinery makes it possible not only to facilitate the work of machine operators, but also to perform a greater amount of work in a short time. The renewal of the park allowed the farmers of the region to grow and harvest a record grain harvest in 2022, exceeding 1.7 million tons. This year, we will increase the pace of development of the agricultural industry, all regional programs to support agricultural producers will continue to work in full to provide the residents of Kuzbass with high-quality meat, dairy products, bread and vegetables,” Governor Sergei Tsivilev emphasized.
In the new economic conditions, the task is to actively engage in import substitution and purchase domestic machinery and spare parts for equipment. Equipment produced by the Republic of Belarus and domestic factories, including Agro LLC, located in Kuzbass, is very popular in the farms of the region. The local manufacturer produces seeding complexes “Kuzbass” and “Tom”.
To meet the needs of the region’s villagers with specialized equipment in 2022, the Kuzbass government signed a cooperation agreement with Gomselmash OJSC. In accordance with the document, the Belarusian side will ensure the supply of harvesting equipment to the region by the new agricultural season.
In addition, to purchase machinery, agricultural producers can take advantage of preferential loans, including a program from Rosagroleasing. The loan is issued without a down payment, with a deferral of the principal debt for a year at a fixed appreciation of 3%. The term of the contract is up to 8 years. More than a third of all new machines that are annually purchased by agricultural producers are purchased under this program.
