Kaluga region aims at a million tons of milk per year

At the forum with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the head of the Business Russia Committee on dairy farming Stefan Durr proposed to strengthen support for the industry. According to him, the domestic market of dairy products has almost reached self-sufficiency, but about 15% still accounts for imports. Among the possible measures, he called the development of high-tech production and the expansion of exports.

According to the Governor of the Kaluga region Vladislav Shapsha, the region is associated with the development of dairy livestock special prospects. It was here that Durr began working in Russia in 1989, and today EkoNiva projects cover farms in seven districts of the region.

In terms of daily productivity of cows, Kaluga region ranks second in the country. This year, the region expects to approach the indicator of 11,000 kilograms of milk per cow, and by the end of 2026 - to produce 650,000 tons of milk. The strategic goal is to reach a million tons by 2030. This should help the country to reach the 90% self-sufficiency level set by the Food Security Doctrine. At the end of 2025, the figure was 85.3%.
