Russian flower growers are being advocated for by Aleksey Mayorov, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Agrarian and Food Policy and Environmental Management, to be recognized as agricultural producers. This would allow them to access state support. The government has already added certain plants to the agricultural products list, and Mayorov suggests including flowers. Due to the pandemic, Russian floriculture has been negatively impacted, leading to a need for state intervention. The Ministry of Finance has proposed a development roadmap for the industry, and senators have recommended preferential loans for flower growers.
