"When organizing the export of grain, we must, first of all, bear in mind the provision of our own interests, our own internal markets both for feed and for supplying bread to the population", - suggested the Head of state during the meeting with the Minister of agriculture Alexander Tkachev.
Earlier, the Minister said that the agricultural Department will set a goal to increase grain production to 150 million tons.

"One shouldn’t be afraid of a big harvest. First of all, we will increase the share of exports, feed ourselves by sending grain to feed the livestock and for food purposes" - suggested the Minister of agriculture of the Russian Federation Alexander Tkachev in the program "Opinion".

During the meeting with the Minister the Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that "in spite of the growing exports, the task of ensuring Russia is number one priority". In addition, the head of state noted that it is important to pay attention to the environment.

"You know how it is in the world markets: the price for grain has fallen a bit, it should be borne in mind, may not be in a hurry to throw on the market additional volumes, but rather to work for the farmer to retain the desired level of prices", - said the President.

The Minister of agriculture has assured Vladimir Putin that the Agency considers the balance in the market as a priority.

"We clearly observe it, and I assure you, we first of all, cover our needs for fodder production and for food purposes. And only the surplus, I stress, surplus of grain we aim to export, it is not even discussed. Export gives us the flow of money, it is the currency that makes our farmers richer, it is their incomes", - said Alexander Tkachev.
