“In 2019, the milk production increased by 2.4% and amounted to 31.4 million tons. This year we plan to reach the level of about 32 million tons,” he said.
According to the Minister, the production of milk in Russia is growing during the last years. And the government is taking great efforts – providing support measures to improve productivity in dairy farming, for technical modernisation and improvement of livestock breeding. In particular, in 2017 to support livestock breeding were allocated 5,1 billion roubles, and in 2020 the amount increased to 9.1 billion rubles. To increase the productivity in dairy farming from the Federal budget in 2019 was sent to about 8 billion rubles. In the current year this figure increased by half.
Besides, according to Dmitry Patrushev, the Ministry of agriculture is preparing a routine that will help to improve the genetic potential of cattle specialized meat breeds. From the Federal budget it will be allocated 7 billion roubles. Total investment in projects related to the implementation of the subprogramme, and by 2025 should reach 13.1 billion rubles. The Ministry of agriculture expects that, through this program, by 2025, the number of specialized beef cattle will increase by 150 thousand heads.
According to Dmitry Patrushev, if the current growth rate of livestock is an indicator of the doctrine of food security of milk (90%) can be achieved by 2027.
the Doctrine of food security will provide the milk of its own production at the level of 90%.
Over the past five years import share on the Russian dairy market has decreased from 22% to 19%. This is almost twice the limit set by food security Doctrine, noted in turn, in the center of the industry expertise of Rosselkhozbank. In this case, from 2016 to 2020 there is a gradual increase in the consumption of milk to 34.8 million tonnes (plus 1 million tonnes). However, according to Rosstat, the actual consumption of dairy products in Russia is still below the recommendations of the Ministry of health.
According to the head of industry expertise Center of Rosselkhozbank Andrew Dalnova, the current potential of the introduction of new dairy commodity farms is 2.4 million tons.
“there are three key drivers of growth in the supply of molokotina. This import substitution in regions with a high level of supply of dairy products from Belarus, raw materials provision of new capacity for the production of dairy products and the replacement of lost volumes of production of molokotina in LPH. In addition to these drivers, its role can play a recovery in the level of consumption to the level of 2013, export growth and acceleration of import substitution. Due to these factors long-term potential ��of velichaniya production molokotina increases to 5.7 million tons,” – said the expert.
