Farmer Alexey Mardensky from the Ust-Tsilemsky district will raise Aberdeen-Angus cattle for meat with funds from the Agrostartap subsidy, the press service of the government of the Komi Republic reports on March 14.
Alexey Mardensky also invested his own funds in the implementation of his business plan. He built a corral for the walking animals and a barn to keep them. I bought a tractor, a loader and some “VLZ-0.8 SB” three-point forks.
The farmer purchased two additional pieces of equipment: a mower and a circular baler.
In 2023, the farm sold 21 heads of young animals for slaughter with a live weight of 8.2 tons, 9 percent more than the previous year’s sales volume. In 2024, the number of cattle on Alexei Mardensky’s farm amounted to 63 heads.
The Agrostartup subsidy is implemented within the framework of the national project “Small and medium-sized businesses and support for individual business initiatives”.
Let us remember that the national project “Small and medium-sized businesses and support for individual business initiatives” aims to expand the access of small and medium-sized businesses to financial resources, including preferential financing. The total budget for the implementation of the national project is 481.5 billion rubles.
The project must achieve a key goal: increasing the number of people employed in small and medium-sized businesses, including individual entrepreneurs, to 25 million people.
