The development of domestic vegetable growing is under close scrutiny of state authorities at both the federal and regional levels. Significant development funds are allocated annually by the budgets of various levels. The current support measures include compensation for the part of the interest rate on loans (soft loans), reimbursement of capital construction costs, agricultural-technological work, soil fertility increase, etc. Thanks to these support measures, vegetable growing in Russia has become highly effective and it contributes to import substitution. At the same time, the allocated funds and agricultural production must be financially protected from uncontrolled natural anomalies.
