MOSCOW, March 2 (Itar-Tass) - Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will make a working tour of Tambov Region on Wednesday to attend the XXII convention of the Association of peasant (individually-operated) farms and agricultural cooperatives of Russia (AKKOR).
Putin will addresss those present at the conventionand discuss
prospects for the development of farms in the countryside, agriculture as a whole, as well as legislative support for the ensurance of the activities of agricultural enterprises, the government press service announced.
First Vice-Premier Viktor Zubkov, Minister of Agriculture Yelena
Skrynnik, and representatives of the agriculture-financing Rosselkhozbank, Rosagroleasing, Sberbank, and VTB will take part in the AKKOR convention..
AKKOR is a non-state non-profit organization representing the
interests of small- and medium-scale agricultural commodity producers, and promoting the development of farmery, and other small- and medium-scale forms of economic management in Russia.
The Association was established in January 1990 and now comprises 68 regional peasant unions and associations which bring together more than 600 farming organizations at district level, as well as about 1,500 cooperative associations and enterprises of the farmery infrastructure.
"Farmery plays a considerable role in the multi-mode agriculture of Russia: it produced over 55 percent of domestic farm products," a
government press service official recalled.
Accordingto preliminary data issued by Rosstat (Federal Agency for
Statistics), in 2010,the individually-operated farms harvested 13.3
million tonnes of grain and legumes -- 22 percent of the entire amount of graind produced in Russia (as against 21 pct in 2009), sugar beet-- 2.4 million tonnes, or 11 pct (as against 10 pct in 2009), sunflower -- 1.4 million tonnes or 26 pct of the country's entire harvest (as against 29 pct in 2009).
The cattle stock in individually-operated farms grew by 5.3 pct last year as compared with that in 2009 and amounted to 1.4 milion head, with cows accounting for 5.4 pct (668,000 head).
Notwithstanding the fact that 2010 was a dry and low-harvest year, the farmers produced 1.5 milion tonnes of milk (105.6 pct as compared with that in 2009), 0.3 million tonnes of cattle andpoultry meat in live weight (106 pct as compared with that in 2009), and 300 million eggs (101.1 pct compared with that in 2009).
The programme for the Russian Prime Minister's tour also provides for visits to an individually-operated farm in Bolshaya Lipovitsa Village and to an exhibition of projects in the agri-industrial sector, farm products and the output of processing-industry enteprrises of Tambov Region, the government press service official said.
