Seminar-meeting on issues of agro-industrial complex development is held in Aktanysh

The Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov welcomes the idea proposed by the RT Ministry of agriculture and foodstuff about encouraging agricultural organizations to attract highly skilled specialists. This problem seems to be more urgent in the context of Russia’s joining the WTO and the need for increasing competitiveness of domestic agriculture.

The mentioned issue has been discussed today during the RT President’s visit to agro-industrial exhibition. The exhibition is organized within the limits of the republican seminar-meeting on issues of Tatarstan agro-industrial complex development (the Aktanysh municipal region).

Nowadays many farmsteads face an urgent problem of attracting highly skilled agronomists. The proposal of RT Ministry of agriculture and foodstuff consists in the following: the state will not support farmsteads cultivating more than 1 thousand hectares of land if they do not have their own staff agronomist. Rustam Minnikhanov welcomed the ministry’s position.

The President saw presented samples of agricultural machinery, advanced technology solutions in the sphere of farming, plant growing and animal breeding.
