On October 8 Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in a meeting on dairy industry development in Russia held by Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in Voronezh region.

According to Dmitry Medvedev, Russia has got all chances to become the leading producer of dairy products in the world. He said that within the last few years 100 bln rubles were allocated to support dairy industry. “Russia annually produces 30 mln tonnes of milk,” he added.

Head of Russian Government expressed hope that state support of dairy industry will not be reduced. He noted that 16 bln rubles are provided for agriculture development programme.

Chairman of Russian Union of dairy enterprises Arkady Ponomarev suggested making changes in the trade law and ban any bonuses for selling dairy products in shops. Dmitry Medvedev said agricultural producers should address law enforcement bodies on issues of corruption cases in retail networks. He noted that both trade law and the Criminal Code should be taken into account.
