Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev took part in an extended joint meeting of three relevant State Duma committees. The event was held in preparation for a government hour on the topic of "Development of modern production and advanced processing technologies in the agro-industrial complex as the basis for Russia's food security and food accessibility for the population."
The meeting was attended by the chairs of the State Duma Committees on Agriculture, Vladimir Kashin; Control, Oleg Morozov; Industry and Trade, Vladimir Gutenev; the heads of the Ministry of Agriculture, Oksana Lut; and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov; the head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Maxim Shaskolsky; and representatives of Rosselkhoznadzor, the Federal Agency for Fisheries, and the Accounts Chamber.
Participants discussed issues of supplying the domestic market with products, implementing the national project "Technological Support for Food Security," improving the regulatory framework for the industry, and developing rural areas.
The event also reviewed the current situation in the agricultural sector, including the progress of the harvest campaign. To date, Russian farmers have harvested 137 million tons of grain in bunker weight, nearly 10 million tons higher than last year. Other crops are also expected to see relatively strong results, with some expected to reach record levels.
The situation remains normal in the livestock farming, finished goods production and fisheries sectors.
Dmitry Patrushev thanked the parliament for their special attention to the priority areas of work in the agro-industrial complex. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the draft federal budget for a three-year period is currently under discussion. Following the first reading, over 540 billion rubles have been allocated for the agro-industrial complex for 2026. This will ensure the preservation of support instruments and the continued stable development of the industry.
