Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting on the development of agricultural exports. The event was attended by Minister of Agriculture Oksana Lut, senior officials from relevant agencies, representatives of the Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoys to the federal districts, and heads of Russian regions.

"The Russian Federation remains a reliable trading partner, continuing to consistently supply agricultural goods and foodstuffs abroad. By the end of 2025, export volumes exceeded $41 billion. Sales of fish and seafood increased by 22%, meat and dairy products grew by approximately 20%, and confectionery exports grew by 14%. Our country maintains a leading position in the trade of wheat, fish, and sunflower oil. Our exports reach over 160 countries, with 90% of the total volume going to friendly countries. Thus, Russia makes a significant contribution to global food security," said Dmitry Patrushev.

The export portfolio is steadily expanding, with a notable trend last year being a significant increase in the supply of high-value-added products. Volume increased by 12% to $20 billion.

The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that the Russian President had set a target for export volumes to be 1.5 times higher than 2021 levels by 2030. In monetary terms, this would amount to over $55 billion. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that achieving this target requires the consolidated efforts of government agencies and businesses.

Dmitry Patrushev instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to monitor the implementation of export plans. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the importance of exploring new opportunities to stimulate supplies and diversify product ranges in the current situation.

Resolution of March 17, 2026 No. 277

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, March 24, 2026

Russia will develop a list of strategically important medications that meet the priority needs of the healthcare system for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Their full production cycle must be ensured within the country. The rules and criteria for compiling the list were approved by a decree signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. This decision will increase the country's pharmaceutical independence and maintain a stable supply of essential medications to clinics and hospitals.

The list will include vital and essential medications, vaccines included in the national calendar of preventive vaccinations and the calendar of vaccinations for epidemic indications, blood products, blood substitutes, infusion solutions, narcotic analgesics, medications for the treatment of especially dangerous infections, socially significant diseases, and diseases that pose a danger to others.

The production of such drugs will be organized with state support. Furthermore, drugs included in the list will be given priority in government procurement.

"We hope this will reduce the pharmaceutical industry's dependence on foreign suppliers and, overall, contribute to achieving the national goal of preserving the population, improving health and well-being, and supporting families," Mikhail Mishustin noted at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on March 24.

The list will be compiled by a special interdepartmental commission, which will include representatives from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Medical and Biological Agency, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Roszdravnadzor, and Rospotrebnadzor.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the implementation of the Strategy for the Development of the Pharmaceutical Industry until 2030.

This concerns a deferral of mineral extraction tax and insurance premium payments. The payment deadlines for coal industry organizations have been extended until April 30, 2026. The arrears can be repaid in equal monthly installments from May to the end of November 2026.

Also, until April 30, no penalties will be applied to coal companies for tax arrears and insurance premium arrears, provided that bankruptcy proceedings have not been initiated against the debtor organizations.

"This will free up working capital at promising coal companies for ongoing operations," Mikhail Mishustin noted at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on March 24.

The Government, at the direction of the President, introduced additional support measures for coal companies effective June 1, 2025. Earlier, in May, Mikhail Mishustin held a meeting on the situation in the industry. The Prime Minister noted that it is one of the core industries that ensures the stable operation of key economic sectors, including metallurgy, electric power, and housing and utilities, and also contributes to addressing social issues.

Mikhail Mishustin held talks with Prime Minister of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Pham Minh Tinh. Mishustin: Good afternoon, dear friends! I warmly welcome you, Mr. Pham Minh Tinh. Welcome to the Government House of the Russian Federation.

First of all, I would like to ask you to convey our warmest greetings and best wishes to the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Comrade To Lam, and the President of Vietnam, Comrade Luong Cuong.

I fondly remember meeting them during my visit to Hanoi last January.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and all our Vietnamese friends on the successful holding of the 14th Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, as well as the recent elections to the National Assembly of Vietnam. The Supreme Party Forum approved strategic objectives to accelerate Vietnam's socioeconomic development. I am confident that these goals will be achieved.

We sincerely value friendly Russian-Vietnamese relations, based on the principles of a comprehensive strategic partnership, mutual respect, and consideration of each other's interests.

Through our governments, we ensure the effective implementation of agreements reached at the highest level. We are already implementing the Comprehensive Plan for Cooperation between Russia and Vietnam until 2030. As a reminder, it was approved in Hanoi last January.

We place particular emphasis on expanding trade and economic cooperation. We propose continuing our joint efforts to increase mutual trade turnover and diversify its structure.

We also see our common goal in creating favorable conditions for the growth of mutual investment and the launch of new projects in industry, energy, transport infrastructure, agriculture, and many other areas.

Following today's negotiations, an intergovernmental agreement was signed on the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Vietnam.

The creation of a nuclear power plant will provide a powerful impetus to the development of cooperation in related fields – high technology, fundamental and applied scientific research.

I am confident that this project will become a new symbol of Russian-Vietnamese friendship.

In the oil and gas sector, following intergovernmental agreements, Zarubezhneft and PetroVietnam have signed agreements that will enable the practical implementation of projects to develop oil fields in Russia and Vietnam.

We place particular emphasis on strengthening humanitarian ties. Russian Culture Days are currently taking place in Vietnam. We are delighted that many generations of Vietnamese know and love Russian culture and art.

Vietnamese resorts are popular with Russian tourists. We continue to create favorable conditions for further increasing mutual tourist flows.

Dear Comrade Pham Minh Tinh, I look forward to discussing with you the most pressing issues on the Russian-Vietnamese agenda. It is my pleasure to hand the floor over to you.

To be continued…

Congratulations from Dmitry Patrushev on World Water Day!

Dear colleagues, dear friends!

Happy World Water Day.

Intensive economic development, which leads to increased consumption of natural resources, requires us to pay ever greater attention to ensuring environmental well-being. Today, this is one of the priorities of the Russian Federation's state policy.

Our country is home to a fifth of the planet's freshwater reserves, including our unique gem, Lake Baikal. Their conservation and sustainable use are undoubtedly of strategic importance.

As part of the national project "Environmental Well-Being" and state programs of the Russian Federation, we are actively developing water management infrastructure, implementing innovative monitoring and management technologies, restoring and cleaning water bodies, and constructing modern wastewater treatment facilities. Particular attention is paid to protecting populated areas from floods and ensuring the availability of water resources for the needs of citizens and the economy.

Furthermore, Russia consistently advocates for the development of international partnerships in the water sector, the exchange of experience and technology, and the joint resolution of transboundary water use issues.

On this day, I want to thank all water management specialists, scientists, environmentalists, and public figures—the professionals who work daily to preserve our country's water resources.

I would like to emphasize the importance of the participation of concerned citizens in volunteer efforts to clean up the banks of debris.

Each of us makes a difference! This is how we create conditions for the sustainable development of aquatic ecosystems for the benefit of future generations. Happy holiday!
