The state program of involvement in the circulation of agricultural land has begun to operate. 5 of our projects passed the competitive selection, subsidies will amount to about 40 million rubles. The following year, they showed up with projects worth almost 10 times more. I set the task to actively work in this direction in order to receive these funds. These are new opportunities to achieve 100% use of agricultural land at an accelerated pace,”
