President Putin before a meeting with representatives of the Russian agro-industrial complex.
Vladimir Putin noted that a record harvest had been collected. The growth of agricultural production has been a permanent factor in the past few years and people are getting used to it, he said. The President stressed that under current conditions, the main problem, which could not be resolved without the government’s assistance, was the sale of the output. The task of the government was to supply the population with quality foodstuffs and provide opportunities for the development of domestic producers.
