The subsidy per liter of milk may be replaced by a subsidy on dairy production increase
The Ministry of agriculture can rename subsidies on production of commodity milk. In accordance with the planned changes, the Agency will form the «Rules of granting subsidies to increase the productivity of production.» This is reported by the portal Soyuzmoloko milknews.ru with reference to a source in the Ministry of agriculture of Russia.
The calculation of the subsidy will be conducted per liter of milk; however, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of economic development, the subsidies will be called for the purpose of increasing productivity of dairy production.
In the new version probably, the payment of the subsidy will be tied to milk production of cattle on each farm. That is, payments will be made only in case of ensuring the increase of productivity per 1 kg of milk and more.
This stipulates that in case of the average milk production per head of 7 thousand kg and more, it is allowed to decline the value, but not more than by 5%.
Besides, in accordance with the technical regulations of the Customs Union, the subsidy will be issued without specifying the grade of milk.
Recall that the draft changes to the rules of subsidizing the commodity milk was proposed by the Ministry of agriculture in April 2016. Then, the Agency has offered to provide support only to those dairy producers that do not allow lowering the production and breeding livestock.
