Working meeting with Agriculture Minister Alexei Gordeyev.
Mr Gordeyev also told the President that the government had acted on the instruction given to bring down prices on the grain market.
Grain prices in Russia were stabilised in February and then underwent a weekly drop of one-and-a-half percent. Prices for grain and flour are continuing to fall. Mr Gordeyev said that the regulating role played by the state has had a positive impact.
