Moreover, it was decided to increase support from the Federal budget this year by about 10% compared to last year", said Mr. Dvorkovich speaking at a regional conference at the Ministry of agriculture of Stavropol region.

"This money will be used to support new investment projects, to support farms, to update the agricultural machinery park - this problem still remains very acute compared to the peak that was achieved in the mid - eighties, when agricultural machinery was updated rapidly, we are about twice as lower now," he said.
