Agriculture in 2016, has become one of the main growth drivers of the Russian economy. According to Rosstat, the agricultural sector only grew by 3.6% while overall GDP contraction of 0.2%.

But opportunities for further growth are limited. Some segments of the industry rested on the ceiling, and today are working with minimum profitability, releasing a large volume of products, demand for which has already reached its limit in the domestic market. Other players will face this in the foreseeable future. High costs and dependence on foreign technologies also hamper the development of the industry and do not allow agricultural producers to make a qualitative leap. In this market there are segments with high potential and players willing to master new niches.

About where to look for sources of development of the agricultural industry and where to direct their efforts to achieve maximum results, will speak at the Agricultural forum of Russia.

Alexander Tkachev – the Minister of agriculture of the Russian Federation

Konstantin Babkin – President of the Industrial Union "New Commonwealth"
