The Ministry of Agriculture of Russia will develop a plan for an accelerated transition to seeds of domestic selection

This is reported by TASS with reference to the statement of the ministry.

“In the near future, it is necessary to develop a roadmap for the transition of the industry to domestic seed material for sunflower and other crops.

In particular, in order to accelerate the introduction of Russian selection in agricultural production, it is planned, by analogy with mineral fertilizers, to form a plan for the purchase of seeds broken down by region," the ministry noted.

Earlier, the Minister of Agriculture of Russia Dmitry Patrushev, during the plenary session of the All-Russian Field Day 2022 forum, announced the readiness of the authorities to increase direct support for farmers.
