In connection with the outbreak of the pandemic and subsequent economic crisis, many are concerned the question is, will face the world in General and Russia in particular with the problem of hunger, food shortage.

As assured Ivan Lebedev, a threat in any case, for Russia does not exist. Moreover, as it turned out, we can still help others, increasing the already strong exports. This year it was exported goods for $ 10.3 billion, which is 1.2 billion dollars more than in the past. Russia reduces dependence on external food supply and thus increasing its exports.

 "We understand the nomenclature, which performed this task. Our country, as one of the major producers and exporters of grain, has a special role in the global grain market - ranked first in the world in the export of wheat.

 Implementation of effective state policy in the field of agriculture has allowed Russia to achieve targets of food security Doctrine in all key areas, to successfully implement the strategy of import substitution and move to the export-oriented model of agricultural development. Today Russian agricultural products shipped in 157 countries", - said the Deputy Minister.

According to German Zverev, the fishing industry avoid failures related to the spread of infection in the workplace. Thanks to the security system, the adopted measures including the imposition of quarantine for vessels managed to avoid a large number of infections in the enterprises and in the sea. First year Russian fishermen produced 160 thousand tons more than in the same period last year. In the black – Pollock, Pacific herring, haddock, a 20-fold increased catch of sprat. According to scientists, the catch of salmon will reach 300 thousand tons.

In General, there will be its fish, and, as promised Rustam Khafizov, and their meat: "the meat we completely abandoned the import substitution." He added that a further driver for the development of the Russian economy can become a program of targeted food aid.

In addition, Krasnodar Krai has been and remains the breadbasket of the country and the universal breadwinner, despite the difficult weather conditions of this anomalous year. The losses told Andrew Box. A shortage of winter will be 30%, less than half a crop of apples, stone gardens have suffered the most – by 80%. "However, thanks to government support and investments, we continue to work hard, and suffer less damage than it could be. And the resulting crop, even if it is less than previous years, to ensure food security enough."

Supported his colleague Maxim Basov, stressing that "the year has been extraordinary, farmers are not enough workers, but hunger will not."

Rustam Ramazanov noted the need to consider the fact of climate change. For mankind this is a new technological challenge. "Now we are seeing the migration process of agricultural pests. 7 years ago a certain their appearance was driven only in Uzbekistan, but now it has spread to the Volga region. While nature plays with us. But we are not standing still. We are biological protection, nutrition and stimulation of plant growth: development, manufacturing, new agricultural techniques and agropromotion. At the moment, Halal and kosher products is a promising direction for the export to the Russian Federation in the coming years - it's not even certain religious requirements for food, and some environmental standard sought by most leading manufacturers and performance monitoring technology." Their contribution to the food supplies of the country, has actively contributed Bashkortostan, introducing a unique program on creation of agricultural cooperatives, based on the initiative (doktoranturaya projects) of the villagers. In the region for two years, the project has created more than 220 new agricultural cooperatives (over 300).
