Mikhail Mishustin, the Prime Minister of Russia, has approved the single development plan for the country until 2030 and long-term perspectives until 2036. The document, signed by the head of the government on January 9, 2025, defines indicators that reflect the achievement of the national goal of ensuring technological independence in the field of food security.
The plan includes eight national development goals for the country and will serve as the main guidance for the government, ministries, departments, regional administrations, development institutions, and state-owned companies in achieving the tasks set by the President. One of these tasks is to achieve technological independence for Russia in the field of food security.
In 2025, the national project "Technological Support for Food Security" will be launched, which includes five directions: selection and genetics, biotechnology development, development of veterinary drugs and vaccines, agricultural machinery and equipment, and personnel provision for the industry. The implementation of this project will require funding in the amount of 260 billion rubles.
According to the document signed by the Prime Minister, by 2030, Russia's level of technological independence in the field of food security should reach 66.7%. In 2023, this indicator stands at 45.8%, and the target for 2025 is to achieve a level of 47.6%. Then, in 2026, the level should be 49.5%, in 2027 - 52.1%, and in 2028 and 2029 - 55.5% and 59.9%, respectively.
As part of the national project to ensure technological leadership, eight additional statistical indicators have been established. The first two relate to the volume of sunflower and sugar beet seeds of domestic selection sown: by 2025, these indicators are 15.326 thousand tons and 100.16 tons, respectively, and by 2030 - 22.988 thousand tons and 1.145 thousand tons.
The other two indicators relate to the number of daily meat crossbred chicken chicks of domestic breeding and the number of pedigree dairy calves of cattle. By 2025, the levels of these indicators will be 29.49 million heads and 94 thousand heads, respectively, and by 2030 - 308.6 million heads and 99 thousand heads.
The amount of domestic veterinary drugs produced in 2030 should reach 234.3 thousand packages (200.2 thousand packages are planned for production in 2025), and the number of domestically produced vaccines should be 20.947 billion doses compared to 18.972 billion doses.
The last two indicators are related to the number of domestic technologies created using research and developments that are in demand in the agricultural sector (it is planned to reach 25 by 2030 compared to 6 in 2025) and to the increase in production capacities for the production of critically important enzymes and feed additives up to 363 thousand tons compared to 148 thousand tons in 2025. "Profiled Deputy Prime Ministers will bear personal responsibility for achieving the set indicators, as well as be responsible for managing the process and ensuring the coordination of all measures taken," the government's message states.
