Representatives of the Federation Council discussed with the working team of the group of companies the development of the agro-industrial complex in the South of Russia and got acquainted with the products of local production. According to the participants of the meeting, state support contributes to the development of agriculture and industry in the region. So in 2020, after the visit of Mikhail Mishustin to Rostselmash, the group of companies received subsidies in the amount of 4 billion rubles. Thanks to state support, in 2020, Rostselmash increased the supply of self-propelled vehicles by 42% compared to the previous year. Also in 2020, the net profit of the agricultural machinery manufacturer increased by 1.7 times.
