The Russian Ministry of Agriculture is contemplating an extension of state support for personal subsidiary farms (PSPs) to include beef cattle breeding, following a successful pilot in crop production. Deputy Minister Andrey Razin highlighted the importance of private farms, especially in livestock, and announced a new federal project aimed at the development of vegetable and potato cultivation. This announcement was made during the two-day 'Development of sheep breeding in the North Caucasus' forum at the 'Minvody Expo' in the Stavropol Territory.
