Approved Government Resolution Russian Federation from 04.06.2020 No. 823 "About approval of Rules of granting subsidies from the Federal budget to producers of specialized machinery or equipment in order to provide customers discounts when purchasing such machinery or equipment".

The implementation of the subsidy program discounts will allow you to maintain the purchase of new highly productive and high quality of Russian equipment for food and processing industries from processors of agricultural raw materials.

According to preliminary data of the Association "Rosspetsmash", this mechanism will allow to produce and sell more than 9 thousand units of food processing equipment this year.

The programme covers a wide range of (over 500 items) of machinery and equipment for all sectors of the food processing industry, including for production of socially important food products. Subsidies will be provided to the Russian machine-building enterprises in the sale of machinery and equipment, including small and medium-sized businesses, at a discount.

In the current year, subsidies will be paid to the producers according to agreements on implementation, concluded in the second half of 2018 and in 2019 with deliveries no later than last year. For these purposes the Federal budget has already provided 1 billion roubles. A collection of applications from manufacturers to participate in the program to compensate for the cost of these agreements is carried out by the Ministry of industry and trade until June 25, 2020.

20 may the President of Russia Vladimir Putin supported the proposal of the Ministry of industry and trade of Russia on additional financing program in the amount of 1.5 billion rubles.
