Resolution of December 23, 2025 No. 2110
On January 1, 2026, Russia began implementing a new federal project, "Small Agribusiness Development," which includes several new support programs for farmers. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the decree on this.
One of the new programs is grants for small rural bakery projects. The grant will be up to 10 million rubles, but no more than 50% of the project cost. Grant funds must be used within 18 months. In regions affected by shelling by Ukrainian armed groups, the grant period will be 30 months. Projects will be selected by regional authorities, and then must be approved by the Ministry of Agriculture. Grants can be used not only for new construction but also for completing bakery projects that were started before receiving this funding. One of the conditions for receiving the grant is an annual increase in bread and bakery product production of at least 3%.
Another new area of support concerns agro-aggregators—cooperatives that purchase, process, and subsequently market farm produce. Starting this year, they will receive a partial reimbursement for their purchase costs from farms. This reimbursement will be differentiated and will amount to 10% of costs if the volume of produce purchased from farmers ranges from 5 million to 25 million rubles, 12% of costs if the corresponding purchase volume ranges from more than 25 million to 50 million rubles, and 15% of costs for purchases exceeding 50 million rubles.
Furthermore, the state will now reimburse small farms for up to 60% of the startup costs of a gas-powered generator used to generate electricity for agricultural production. However, the amount of such reimbursement will not exceed 10 million rubles per small farm.
