This was written about in the newspaper "Vedomosti" today with reference to the letter of Soyuzmoloko to the address of Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich (curator of agro-industrial complex in the Government building), according to The DairyNews. The Ministry of agriculture states that by the end of the year the will be allocated 2.3 billion rubles of subsidies for investment projects.
The state did not provide the promised subsidies for compensation of the part of loan interest rate for about 4 billion rubles and for compensation of investment for 3.5 billion rubles, said in a letter signed by the Chairman of the Board of Soyuzmoloko Andrey Danilenko.

Last Commission, making decisions who is going to get compensation for the investments worked in the end of 2015, and the Commission that determined who will be reimbursed the part of the interest rate - in September 2015.

At the same time, without holding meetings of the Commission, the industry can lose state support for previous periods: since 2017 there will be a concessional loan at 5%, the old scheme with the compensation of costs and rates will be gone.

Under the threat there are major projects in dairy farming, in particular the projects of “EkoNiva” by Stefan Duerr and GC "Damate" by Naum Babaev. Investors have to pay interest at commercial rates from 14% to 18% per annum without subsidies, say representatives of the farms.

“EkoNiva” has a debt on existing projects – about 150 million rubles, there is also a debt for new projects. “EkoNiva” has received credits for three breeding complex in December 2015 and in July 2016, it will have completed the construction by the end of the year, there is a debt for compensation rates – 55 million rubles, writes “Vedomosti”, citing Stefan Duerr. For two of them there also assumed a compensation of the investment for about 500 million rubles. This money, the company, like last year, planned to use as start-up capital for new facilities, says Duerr, but without compensation they will not be implemented.

The Ministry of agriculture deals with this issue, confirmed its representative. The delay is due to the fact that there are no funds for subsidizing new investment projects in the budget for 2016, there some only to subsidize existing projects. A bill to adjust the budget for 2016 is at the signature of the President, said a representative of the Ministry of agriculture, before the end of the year the government will allocate additionally 2.3 billion rubles of subsidies for investment of projects. The is still no information about the remaining amount.
