Technologies - Incubator

The Ariant group of companies has launched a grape-growing center based on the Southern agribusiness firm. The project received investments of 500 million rubles. The agribusiness firm grows over 130 grape varieties and plans to increase production of planting material. New laws and increased customs duties contribute to the development of domestic grape growing and winemaking.

The association explained the reduction in agricultural machinery sales by the low solvency of farmers. The government support program does not completely solve the problem due to insufficient funding. Dealers are facing low demand for equipment, except for unique models. High credit rates also complicate the situation.

In Russia this year, more than 3 billion rubles are planned to be allocated from the budget for digital transformation of the agricultural sector, writes "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". The Russian government at the end of last year updated the strategic direction in the field of digital transformation of the agricultural and fisheries sectors until 2030. "Entrepreneurs will be able to use modern technologies to increase crop yields, optimize costs, establish channels for selling products, and gain a number of other competitive advantages for agriculture," Prime Minister Mikhail noted.
