Milk processors of the Kostroma region will receive new subsidies

In the Kostroma region, measures of state support for dairy enterprises are expanding. Governor Sergey Sitnikov signed a decree providing subsidies for the construction of new and reconstruction of existing facilities of the agro-industrial complex.

Milk processing companies will be able to compensate up to 40% of the costs incurred. The regional budget for this program in 2026 provides 16 million rubles. The main condition for obtaining funds is to increase the volume of milk processing by at least 5% by the beginning of next year.

The Social Milk program, launched in 2015 at the initiative of the governor, continues to operate in the region. Under it, enterprises are reimbursed part of the cost of supplying dairy products to kindergartens, schools and hospitals.

Farmers also receive support. This year, subsidies to increase milk production were provided to 34 enterprises. More than 139 million rubles were allocated for these purposes.
