The draft government decree, which is available to "Izvestia, said that the agricultural cooperatives may be reimbursed up to 50% of the cash costs for the promotion of products on the market of food produced by them.
It follows from the document that the state plans to allocate to the regions funds from the federal budget to partially compensate the costs of agrarians to promote products to the market.
As specified, this measure is provided only for agricultural cooperatives - associations of private plots and farmers. It is noted that such support will not be extended to collective and fishing cooperatives.
The vice-president of the Association of Peasant Farms and Agricultural Cooperatives Olga Bashmachnikova said that such support will contribute to the development of small agribusiness. She stressed: "Personal part-time farms and farming - this is the form of farms, which is very difficult to bring to the market produced food".
