Russia: Strategy for Development of Agriculture and Fisheries Through 2030

The Russian Government has adopted a Strategy for Development of the Agribusiness and Fishery Sectors of the Russian Federation through 2030. The document defines key objectives and economic policy measures to facilitate positive structural changes in the Russian agriculture, fisheries and rural development in the next ten years. Import substitution in seeds and genetics, promotion of exports and ensuring food security are some of the key elements of the Strategy, which gives the breakdown of the national goals announced by President Putin in May 2018 into objectives set for the agribusiness and fishery sectors. As emphasized in the Strategy, its successful implementation depends on securing continued state support for the Russian agriculture at least equivalent to the funding planned as of January 1, 2020.
