Altai Senator Sergey Belousov requested to the Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko to introduce a reduction factor on railway tariffs for seljkhozpererabotki, reports the press center of the regional administration.
His proposal Belousov proved by the fact that Western Siberia is one of the largest manufacturers of flour and cereals, which produces up to 25% of the national volume. The main markets of this product are in other regions of Siberia, the Urals and the Far East.
In addition, two years ago the price list of rail transportation has made changes that provide for a decreased coefficient for the carriage of grain. He begins to act from a distance of more than 2 thousand kilometers and is applicable only for grain and products of the milling industry.
Belousov offers to return to the order, which was: to apply a lower factor when calculating the cost of rail transportation for distances of more than 1.1 thousand kilometers.
According to the Senator, thanks to these measures, the region will significantly increase their production, and thus will expand the range of organic foods as part of a policy of import substitution.
The Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko agreed with the proposal of the Senator from Altai region and directly in plenary meeting gave the corresponding legal assignment of the relevant Committee.
Previously, the two Altai companies engaged in supplying flour for the producers of "Barney Bear" and biscuits "Jubilee" - Mondelēz International.
