The Federal Scientific and Technical Program for the Development of Agriculture of the Russian Federation for 2017–2030 outlines a national strategy to strengthen the national agricultural sector by reducing dependence on imported seeds, livestock genetics, technologies, and inputs. Its central goals include import substitution, higher production efficiency, and the integration of scientific innovation into the agro industrial complex through coordinated work between government agencies, research institutions, and industry. To achieve these goals, the Program establishes multiple thematic subprograms covering plant breeding and seed production (potatoes, sugar beet, grains, oilseeds, vegetables, technical crops, grapes), livestock breeding (dairy and beef cattle, broiler chickens), feed and feed additives, diagnostics of plant pathogens, agricultural machinery, and quality control technologies. Each subprogram includes complex scientific and technical projects, funding mechanisms, performance indicators, and annual reporting requirements. The document details significant state and non budget financing—over 100 billion rubles across the program period—and sets ambitious targets such as increasing domestic seed usage for major crops to at least 75 percent by 2031, expanding genetic resources, and registering new technologies and intellectual property. The Program also defines the institutional framework and governance mechanisms for its implementation, including a Program Council, expert groups, a coordinating ministry (the Ministry of Agriculture), and a dedicated information analytical monitoring system. Extensive risk assessments address macroeconomic, natural, technological, and budgetary challenges, while expected outcomes include a measurable reduction of import dependency, increased competitiveness of Russian agricultural products, enhanced scientific capacity, and stronger food security. Overall, the document establishes a long term, science driven roadmap for modernizing the national agriculture by fostering domestic innovation and expanding technological sovereignty.
