Primorsky Krai was one hundred percent provided with seeds by the beginning of the sowing campaign.
According to Novye Izvestia, the problem of providing domestic selection with seeds is quite relevant for most agricultural producers in Russia.
According to the publication, by the beginning of the sowing campaign in Primorye, local farmers had a sufficient supply of seeds of soybeans, potatoes, early grains – more than one hundred percent covering the needs for soybeans and potatoes. There were also no problems with corn seeds, they were purchased in advance and managed to reach Primorye on time.
Nevertheless, the issue of import substitution in the field of crop production remains very serious. In this sense, according to Novye Izvestia, the Primorsky Territory has its own flagships, which should be guided by.
For example, the company “Putsilovskoye” annually grows about 1000 tons of seed potatoes on 75 hectares. It is very popular throughout the Far East, planting material for root crops goes to the Khabarovsk Territory, the Amur Region, Magadan and other regions of the Far Eastern Federal District.
Also, the Federal Scientific Center for Agrobiotechnologies of the Far East named after A.K. Chaika is actively working in Primorye.” He is also engaged in the original seed production of potato varieties – both domestic and local selections.
