Yakutia to Refine Agriculture Funding Parameters for Budget Second Reading

The government of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in Russia will refine the funding parameters for the agro-industrial complex while preparing the draft state budget for its second reading. The review will also cover costs for seasonal work, animal maintenance and the preservation of production.

Acting Minister of Agriculture Anna Struchkova said that budget allocations for the sector next year will be revised at the second reading in parliament. “We think funding will be at this year’s level,” she said. Struchkova noted that the first reading includes part of the costs under delegated powers and the maintenance of budget institutions.

For 2027, funding is planned at no less than the 2026 level, including core tasks and measures to support agricultural producers. Struchkova stressed that subsidy rates and payment deadlines must be communicated to farms in advance, so that producers can plan the sowing campaign, feed purchases and herd formation.
