Governor Nikolai Lyubimov congratulated the audience on their professional holiday. He noted: “The 2017 harvest season in the region is almost over. Its results once again confirmed that the agro-industrial complex is a very promising direction for the Ryazan region. A record grain harvest in recent history was harvested - 2 million 126 thousand tons. With such a result, the Ryazan agrarians completed the harvesting campaign only twice: in 1973 and in 1987.” According to Nikolai Lyubimov, this year the region has good results in terms of threshing oilseeds, it is planned to receive about 130 thousand tons, the gross harvest of potatoes and vegetables is expected to be at a good level. The livestock breeders of the region also did a great job and achieved a steady increase in milk production. Thus, as of October 1 of this year, 263.4 thousand tons of milk were produced in the region, which is 5.2% more than in the same period last year. 38.6 thousand tons of meat were received, which is almost 2.5% more than in 2016.

“In order to maintain the pace and ensure development, it is necessary to continue the diversification of agriculture,” Nikolai Lyubimov emphasized. – Our region belongs and has always belonged to the zone of risky farming. Under these conditions, especially in years like 2017, when difficult weather conditions test our farmers for strength, diversified farms have advantages.” As the Governor noted, modern challenges have become an incentive for agricultural enterprises to work more actively, search for new sales markets, work to increase profitability, produce better products, and expand their range. “Practice shows that Ryazan products are in demand and successfully compete with analogues produced in other regions and abroad,” said Nikolai Lyubimov. – This year, Ryazan processors plan to sell products worth more than 43 billion rubles. Of course, such indicators would not be possible without systemic state support.”

According to the Governor, in 2017, 2.7 billion rubles were allocated for the development of the agro-industrial complex of the region, and the amount is expected to be no less next year. In general, in the country in 2018, at the initiative of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin to support the agro-industrial complex will be allocated 20 billion rubles. in addition to the budgeted 222 billion rubles. “This money will be used to subsidize lending rates and tariffs for the transportation of grain across railway- said Nikolai Lyubimov. “This will help avoid falling grain prices, which is extremely important for our region, which has received record grain harvests.”

The head of the region stressed that the Government of the Ryazan region will continue to pay the most serious attention to the agro-industrial complex. Work will be actively continued to consistently solve existing problems, develop the industry, support import-substituting industries, and attract investment in the agro-industrial complex. Among the main tasks is to provide the maximum possible support to the enterprises of the industry in the development and implementation of modern technologies, in search of new sales markets, the formation of a modern infrastructure in the countryside, the creation of a young personnel reserve for the agro-industrial complex.

Congratulation of Alexander Tkachev on the Day of the worker of agriculture and processing industry

Dear friends!

I congratulate you on our professional holiday - the Day of the worker of agriculture and processing industry!

Thanks to your creative and tireless work, agriculture not only maintains a steady growth in production, but also serves as the basis for the well-being and prosperity of Russia.

Today, agriculture has become the embodiment of the country's success: stable growth and confidence in the future. We again set a series of records in the agricultural industry. Harvesting is nearing completion. Done big job. Despite the weather conditions, this year it will be possible to harvest 128 million tons of grain - this is an absolute record! Such high volumes of the harvest fully meet the growing needs of our country, allow for high-quality forage harvesting for livestock, and also allow Russia to consolidate its status as a world leader in wheat exports.

Excellent results have been achieved for barley, oilseeds, buckwheat, greenhouse vegetables and other crops. Last year, Russia came out on top in the world in terms of sugar production from sugar beets, and at the end of the current season, a good beet harvest will allow us to count on maintaining leadership positions.

The agrarians of the country have managed to achieve serious success in animal husbandry. Today, we have almost completely provided the domestic market with our own meat, and now we are consolidating our successes.

The food security of the country has been ensured, high-quality and affordable food products have appeared on the shelves of stores. Prospects for further growth in key niches are grain, meat, milk, greenhouse vegetables and fruits. I am sure that with these products we will not only feed our country, but also allow it to become major exporter food in the world.

The development of agricultural production inspired new life and to rural areas: income from the sale of agricultural products returns to the village and stimulates the development of rural settlements. Houses are being built for rural residents, gas and water are supplied, schools, kindergartens, medical institutions, clubs, sports grounds. As a result, the issue of the quality and living conditions of rural residents today comes to the fore in the domestic policy of the state.

Behind all this is the work of thousands of teams: at agricultural enterprises, in farms and cooperatives, regional management bodies of the agro-industrial complex, our subordinate institutions, research institutes and agricultural universities.

I am sure that the consolidation of efforts at the federal and regional levels, bodies local government, agricultural business, farming movement to solve a common problem will make our village a modern, comfortable and promising place to live and work.

Dear workers of the agro-industrial complex, I thank you for your high professionalism, love for the Motherland, embodied in work, and everyday service in the rural field. I am sure that your hard work, your resilience in overcoming all adversity will become a solid foundation for achieving new breakthrough results.

I wish you all good health, good spirits, the implementation of your plans, prosperity, happiness and love!

Congratulation of the Governor of the Ryazan Region Nikolai Lyubimov on the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers

Dear agricultural workers of the Ryazan region! Congratulations on your professional holiday!

This year, the farmers of the region, despite the difficult weather conditions, showed good results. Over 2 million 100 thousand tons of grain crops will be harvested in the Ryazan region during the harvesting campaign. This is a record high in modern history regional agro-industrial complex. The agrarians of the Ryazan Territory have achieved it thanks to their high professionalism, responsible attitude to business, and competent use of modern technologies. Our villagers have achieved high indicators in terms of potatoes, oilseeds, and provided livestock breeding with a reliable fodder base. Growth is also expected in dairy and beef cattle breeding at the end of the year, primarily due to an increase in productivity.

Workers of the agricultural sector effectively solve the problems of developing the agro-industrial complex of the region, including import substitution. The region is developing food production, the high quality of which often surpasses foreign analogues. Today, the Ryazan region is fully self-sufficient in food, and our environmentally friendly agricultural products deservedly enjoy consistently high demand in other regions of the country.

The agro-industrial complex of the region today is provided with serious state support. In 2017 alone, about 2.7 billion rubles were allocated. And work on the development of the industry, attracting investment in it will continue actively, there are all conditions for this. The government of the Ryazan region pays the most serious attention to the agro-industrial complex, creating favorable conditions for its efficient operation, increasing agricultural production, modernizing the industry, providing young qualified personnel and thus improve the standard of living in the countryside.

I wish all the workers of the agro-industrial complex of the region, veterans of the industry, agricultural scientists, workers in the food and processing industry good health, energy, optimism and further success in their noble work for the benefit of their native Ryazan region!

Congratulation of the Minister of Agriculture and Food of the Ryazan Region Dmitry Filippov on the Day of the Worker of Agriculture and Processing Industry

Dear workers of agriculture and processing industry, dear veterans of the agricultural industry!

I sincerely congratulate you on your professional holiday!

It is a symbol of our recognition to people of the most peaceful profession, which has managed to ennoble the earth, make it fruitful, give birth and bestow incalculable wealth, which has formed a creative, creative principle in man for thousands of years.

The outgoing agricultural year was no less stressful for the workers of the agro-industrial complex of our region than many previous ones. And it is gratifying that the Ryazan agrarians are successfully coping with the tasks set, setting ever higher benchmarks for themselves and achieving them. I would especially like to note the contribution of grain growers to our common prosperity and an abundant table. We have something to be proud of.

In the Ryazan region, much attention is paid to the development of agriculture: funds are invested in the creation of new industries, a program is being implemented to support beginner farmers, we are successfully increasing our export potential and developing rural areas. Investments should work for the residents of the region, to create new jobs, to increase wages and, accordingly, to improve the standard of living in the countryside, and this is our priority task.

I wish you good health, happiness, prosperity and prosperity, stable and successful work.

This coming Sunday, October 13, Russian farmers will celebrate a professional holiday - the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers. In Belarus, this celebration falls on the third Sunday of November (in 2019 - November 17). The custom of glorifying the completion of the harvest probably originated with the advent of agriculture. All peoples honored the best grain growers for well-deserved work, and the Slavs, the ancestors of Belarusians and Russians, were no exception.

Belarusian traditions: Bogach and Dozhinki

The Belarusian harvest festival was called "Rich Man" and was celebrated in autumn on the day of the equinox. For this celebration, each village family brought a handful of rye to the common "Bogach" - a small box of bark. A candle was placed in the center of a full lubok. A specially invited priest celebrated a prayer service, after which the inhabitants carried a popular print with grains of rye and a lit candle around the village. Also with the "Bagach" went around the herd.

After the rounds, the box with grain was brought to the hut in which the "Rich Man" was to be stored for a year, until the next harvest festival. It was believed that this ritual object would bring prosperity, health and well-being to the entire community, and especially to the farmer in whose house it is located.

But what is it? According to the medieval Slavic tradition, on the last day of the harvest, the most respected and respected woman in the village went to the field and at dawn began to harvest the remaining harvest. Gradually other villagers joined her. At the same time, during Dozhinki, part of the ears were not cut off, but tied with a ribbon - they “curled their beard” to the spirit of the field, which, as it was believed, was hidden in the last sheaf. At the end of the harvest, each of the women set aside an ear for a common harvest sheaf, which was solemnly carried throughout the village to the house where the festive feast was held.

It is worth noting that in addition to the ritual function, Dozhinki also had practical benefits: during the holiday, with jokes and songs, all the villagers helped to squeeze the grain to those farmers who did not have time to collect the grain on time.

Day of Agricultural Workers in Belarus

Rural celebrations and rituals developed into a professional holiday of agriculture, fixed at the state level, already in Soviet times. The Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 26, 1966 established the All-Union Day of Agricultural Workers. It is celebrated annually on the second Sunday in October. And a week later, on the third Sunday of the month, they celebrated the Day of Food Industry Workers.

Professional days were separate until 1986, when the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR did not approve new holiday- Day of workers of agriculture and processing industry of the agro-industrial complex. It should have been celebrated on the third Sunday of November.

The same Sunday is fixed for the celebration of the workers of the village and in sovereign Belarus. The Day of Workers of Agriculture and Processing Industry of the Agroindustrial Complex was approved by the Decree of the President of Belarus of November 10, 1995. And the folk rite of Dozhinok today is reflected in the festivals-fairs of the village workers of the same name, which are held annually in all districts and regions.

Day of agricultural workers in Russia

But in Russia, the original date, the second Sunday of October, has been chosen for the main holiday of farmers. The Day of the Worker in Agriculture and the Processing Industry was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 679 of May 31, 1999.

The Day of the Agricultural Worker in 2020 will be celebrated on October 11 in Russia and November 15 in Belarus.

As strange as it may seem, all people want to eat. And not sometimes, but every day. But people are used to the fact that store shelves are always full of various products and often do not appreciate the work of agricultural workers, those who provide the entire country with food. And these are not necessarily employees of large agro-industrial complexes, these are people who have spent their entire lives on the land, that is, they worked in personal subsidiary farms, at small private businesses, raising livestock, developing vegetable growing, plant growing and processing the grown products for consumption by society. They provide all of us with fresh milk and meat, fruits and vegetables... Assessing the role of agriculture and its processing in the life of the country, by presidential decree of May 31, 1999, every second Sunday in October is considered the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers.

MOSCOW, Oct 14 /PRIME/. The Day of the Worker of Agriculture and Processing Industry is celebrated in Russia on Sunday.

Below is some background information.

The Day of the Worker of Agriculture and Processing Industry in the Russian Federation, annually celebrated on the second Sunday of October, was established by decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 31, 1999. In 2018, the date falls on October 14th.

Initially, the holiday was established by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on August 26, 1966 and was called the "All-Union Day of Agricultural Workers." It was also celebrated on the second Sunday in October. On the third Sunday of October, the "Day of Food Industry Workers" was celebrated, established by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 30, 1966. In 1986, these two holidays were combined into a single one - "The Day of Workers in Agriculture and the Processing Industry of the Agro-Industrial Complex". It was celebrated on the third Sunday in November. In 1988, it was combined with the Day of the Ameliorator into a single holiday called the Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers, which was also celebrated on the third Sunday of November. In 1999, the date of the celebration was moved to the second Sunday in October, and the word "workers" was replaced with "worker" in the title.

Russia has a significant share of the planet's agricultural land - 4.5%. In the country, as well as throughout the world, agricultural production is the largest life-supporting sphere of the national economic complex. His condition and economic efficiency functioning have a decisive influence on the level of food supply and the well-being of the people. The agro-industrial complex (AIC) largely determines the state of the entire economy of the country, since it closely interacts with other sectors of the national economy.

Conducted in the country, since the early 1990s, without prior scientific study, agrarian reforms, mainly reduced to unregulated market liberalization, led to the collapse of the material and technical base of the agro-industrial complex and system production technologies, their primitivization, threatened the existence the main, non-renewable means of production - land, without which the functioning of this industry is generally impossible. The production of agricultural products has almost halved, and in the structure-forming industry - agriculture - by 40%, which limited the country's ability to provide the population with food of its own production.

Since 1999, economic growth in agriculture began, which continued until 2006. During this time, the volume of agricultural production increased by 34.4%. But since 2002, there has been a trend towards a decrease in the pace of development of agriculture, their lagging behind the pace of development of the economy as a whole.

slowdown economic growth in agriculture, the lack of conditions for alternative employment in the countryside, the historically low level of development of social and engineering infrastructure have led to an aggravation social problems villages.

In order to overcome the crisis and bring the agro-industrial complex to sustainable development, in 2006 the the federal law"On the Development of Agriculture". In pursuance of this law, it was adopted in 2007 " Government program development of agriculture and regulation of agricultural markets for agricultural products, raw materials and food" for 2008-2012, and in 2012 the state program for 2013-2020.

State measures aimed at stimulating agriculture have proven to be effective. The industry began to show growth, various forms of agricultural activity began to actively develop: not only large enterprises but also small peasant farms.

Today, agriculture in general agro-industrial complex is one of the most dynamic sectors of the Russian economy. Russia has become a leading grain power and occupies a leading position in the world in wheat exports. Positive dynamics in other areas, such as the production of pork and poultry meat, the collection of oilseeds, sugar beets, fruits and vegetables.

The volume of Russian agricultural production in 2017 increased by 2.6% compared to 2016 (and by 20% over the past five years), and the export of agricultural products in 2017 exceeded the level of 2000 by 15 times.

Russian producers fully provide the domestic market with grain, sugar, vegetable oil, chicken meat, fish and borscht vegetables. In 2017 specific gravity domestic grain in the total resources of the domestic market amounted to 99.3%, beet sugar- 94.6%, vegetable oil - 84.8%, potatoes - 97%, meat and meat products - 90.4%, milk and dairy products 82.4%, edible salt 63.6%.

Russia in 2017 broke the historical record for grain harvest set in the USSR in 1978 (when 127.4 million tons were harvested), and received a crop of 134.1 million tons of grain (according to Rosstat). The wheat harvest for the first time in history amounted to 85.8 million tons. Grain exports from Russia in the 2016-2017 agricultural year (from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017) amounted to a record 35.474 million tons, including 27.075 million tons of wheat. The country in 2017 increased the export of wheat and meslin (a mixture of wheat and rye) by 30.4% compared to 2016 - up to 33.026 million tons. In 2016-2017, Russia became an exporter of sugar, increased the volume of exports of vegetable oil, pork meat, and poultry.

Due to weather conditions in 2018, grain yields are forecast to be about 20% lower than in 2017.

The development of agricultural production has breathed new life into rural areas: income from the sale of agricultural products returns to the village and stimulates the development of rural settlements. Houses are being built for rural residents, gas and water are being supplied, schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, clubs, and sports grounds are being opened.
