Vladimir Putin: "Russia is confidently coping with external challenges. Thanks to both the responsible economic policy of recent years and systemic solutions to strengthen economic sovereignty, technological and food security.
Our production companies are gradually occupying the niches vacated after the departure of unscrupulous partners in the domestic market, including consumer goods, industrial and service equipment, construction and agricultural machinery.
A good harvest is expected this year. According to experts, of course, these are preliminary estimates, but still, the grain harvest may reach 130 million tons, including 87 million tons of wheat. If this happens, and we rely on this, it will become a record in the entire history of Russia. This will allow not only to meet domestic needs with a margin, but also to increase supplies to the global market for our partners, which is very important for world food markets".
