According to the expert, this is a great initiative.

“For many years we have been importing feed from abroad and there was no need to develop our production, the market was filled, the feed was already familiar,” Kolchanova said.

She also recalled that with the support of the authorities of the constituent entities of Russia and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, new factories began to open.

“This is great, because we have both knowledge and skills, there was simply no need, and now the situation on the international market has developed in such a way that we have much less imports, and in this situation, naturally, we need to take the initiative,” concluded the expert.

Earlier it became known that Russian President Vladimir Putin supported the initiative of the head of Mordovia Artem Zdunov to increase domestic production of pet food.

The head of Mordovia noted that now the region aims to conquer this market.
