Alexander Tkachev, the Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, said: “The program for sustainable development of rural areas is to level out the differences between rural and urban areas.  About 40 million people live in the rural areas. That’s why we should create relevant preconditions to make all types of businesses operating there profitable and cost-efficient. We should also create opportunities for residents of rural areas so that they could stay there, build their homes and shape their future”.
