The President of Russia Vladimir Putin on may 28 held a working meeting with Minister of agriculture Alexander Tkachev.

He plans to soon start to travel to the regions of the country and examine the situation of the industry in place. Agriculture Minister added that he intends to keep the pace of rural development and to involve new business in the enterprise on earth, small-scale, private farms. "We need, of course, state support, of course, what she was in 2014-2015. There are already plans for 2015, 2016, 2017, and if we fail to reduce it, certainly, business will react very powerfully within their means and we can get much higher figures — said Tkachev. And it will be important for taxation. In rural areas, the municipalities, it is, of course, new jobs, new technologies and so forth." He added that in 2015, is lagging behind in the sphere of budget lending banks and resources. By order of the President "Rosselkhozbank" has received a capital increase of 10 billion rubles. "I know that the Ministry has made the necessary funds, limits to the regions even more than last year, 88% of the annual limit increased to regions of the Russian Federation from 124,4 billion to support livestock, to support crop production. This is exactly along the lines of state support. On subsidized loans was 78.5 billion rubles", — said Vladimir Putin. The President drew the attention of regional leaders on funding streams. "Money from regions a very sluggish communicated to agricultural producers. As of may 21 of this year, sent directly to recipients only 48.5 billion rubles, " Putin said. — The ultimate recipients of these funds, if they have time to receive these funds, they will not have time to turn around this year with their projects". According to the head of state, least of all funds received manufacturers in Murmansk, Sakhalin, Astrakhan oblasts, Primorskii territory, Ingushetia and Yakutia. "I ask you, Alexander Nikolaevich, the most helpful way to understand the situation, to work with colleagues in the regions that I mentioned, and in other regions of the Russian Federation. Hopefully things will be fixed, and quickly. If you need my additional support, immediately tell me about it", — said Putin. Alexander Tkachev called two reasons for this situation. The first is that the money comes from the Federal budget for co-financing from the regional budget. "It so happens that there is no money for today in the regional budget, so the Federal money is in the Treasury, they have not used up. So as far as finding regional funds, of course, this money then goes directly to the producers. And subjective reason — the usual sloppiness, poor organization of work", — quotes the head of the Ministry of agriculture press service of the Kremlin.
