The Russians were promised to leave the beds

In the coming years, subsidiary farms in Russia will for the first time begin to produce fewer vegetables than agricultural holdings. This is the conclusion reached by analysts from the Center for Industry Expertise of the Russian Agricultural Bank, reports RBC.

The production of large companies, which grew after the introduction of the food embargo, will allow Russians to leave the beds. The process is already underway, if in 2015 citizens grew 17.8 million tons of potatoes on the plots, then in 2019 – 14.5 million.

In 2000, private farms produced 74 percent of all vegetables in Russia. In 2019, their share was 55 percent, and in 2020, experts expect a decrease to 52 percent. They estimate that by 2025 the rate will drop to 45 percent.

At the same time, they expect an increase in the annual per capita consumption of vegetables from 109 to 115 kilograms by 2028. This will be facilitated by economic recovery and growing interest in healthy eating.

The 2016 All-Russian Agricultural Census showed that there are 23.4 million personal subsidiary and other individual farms of citizens in the country. As the director of the National Fruit and Vegetable Union Mikhail Glushkov noted, Russians most often grow potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, that is, vegetables from a borsch set.

Earlier it became known that the authorities will stop paying benefits to low-income Russians who have free living space or a vegetable garden, which means that they can feed themselves.
