The government will allocate to the North Caucasus regions 2.4 billion rubles for winter

The Russian government will allocate more than 2.4 billion rubles to the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. The funds will compensate part of the costs of agricultural producers for agro-technological work in the cultivation of winter grains for the harvest of 2027. The corresponding order is published on the website of the Cabinet.

The Stavropol Territory will receive 2 billion rubles of subsidies. Chechnya — 292.7 million rubles, Kabardino-Balkaria — 104.5 million, Ingushetia — 32.4 million, Karachay-Cherkessia — 16.7 million rubles. In total, the government will allocate 13 billion rubles of subsidies to 22 regions where such work is carried out. The list includes Krasnodar Territory, Rostov and Volgograd regions, Crimea and others. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin noted that the funds will compensate farmers part of the cost of field work on an area of more than 5.5 million hectares.

Experts believe that the distribution of subsidies reflects the real structure of winter crops in the North Caucasus. According to them, the lion’s share of the funds goes to Stavropol as the main producer of grain in the district, while small republics receive support in proportion to their areas. They also noted that the binding of compensations to the harvest of 2027 gives farmers the opportunity to plan crop rotation in advance.

Earlier it was reported that the government of Stavropol announced the interim results of agricultural work.
