There are quite a lot of private farms here today — people are actively busy with farming, potato growing, vegetables growing in greenhouses and cattle farming. The task of “Entrepreneurial agricultural springboard” is to arouse interest of citizens in development of their business, so that it would go beyond a hobby, would generate income, create jobs and increase the output of local agricultural products”, said Anna Sokolova, the press secretary of the department of agro-industrial complex of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The business forum is planned within the regional project “Creation of the system to support farmers and development of agricultural cooperation” (the national project “Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support for individual business initiative”). As it should be noted, its task is to create at least 31 peasant (farm) holdings in the region by 2024 at the expense of grants from “Agro-startup”.
