We will help to arrange the delivery of livestock, we will teach the owners of the private farms to follow the rules of civilized management. Currently, documents are being prepared for subsidies to farmers and family farms. Next year, in accordance with the new requirements, full identification of all types of farm animals will be carried out. The sale of livestock products without registering for the 'Mercury' program will be limited," Maxim Chekusov said.
