Russian dairy market needs to be regulated – Gordeev
"There should be a more subtle tool, we are working on it with the Ministry, including the issue of strict regulation, to avoid falsifications and various surrogates of dairy products in the market, which displace quality products", Gordeev said.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the state is implementing "quite tangible" support measures for investors in this market, but the price of milk is now decreasing. In this regard, according to Gordeev, it is interesting to know for which purpose investment was stimulated, if there are difficulties with sales.
Earlier at today's meeting with representatives of the Federation Council Gordeev noted the importance of interventions in the agricultural market and called it the right mechanism.
The Ministry of agriculture of the Russian Federation has prepared proposals for intervention in the dairy market, but the final decision on this issue has not yet been made in connection with the inappropriate market conditions.
