The authorities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory decided to stimulate the villagers after complicity in the collapse of the agricultural enterprise. And now loudly with fanfare they offer budget money for the purchase of new cows. The old ones, by the grace of the Tomsk pig breeder Andrey Tyutyushev, were sent to the knacker a long time ago.
The regional government’s pretext is original – supporting agribusiness and ensuring self-employment of the villagers. It is interesting that before the appearance of Mr. Pig in the Nazarovsky district, the work of the population was in order.
What are we talking about?
In 2022, the government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory will allocate 115 million rubles for the development of animal husbandry. Owners of personal subsidiary farms in the region (shareholders of agricultural cooperatives) will receive budgetary funds.
According to the website of the regional Ministry of Agriculture, local residents will be able to spend the money on the purchase of breeding heifers, dairy cows and bulls for fattening. Also for livestock. According to the terms of the program, 40,000 rubles (per year) will be allocated to the owners of private farms for the maintenance of five cows. That is eight thousand rubles per head.
Deputy Chairman of the Krai Government, Minister of Agriculture and Trade Leonid Shorokhov:
Such support is provided at the initiative of Governor Alexander Uss. Its goal is to strengthen small agribusiness and ensure self-employment in the countryside through agricultural cooperation. In the current realities, such assistance is especially relevant: it allows owners of personal subsidiary farms to earn money by selling surplus agricultural products, and cooperatives to expand through new shareholders.
Speaking about the current realities, it is worth recalling how they appeared at all. We believe that the collapsed Sibiryak played an important role in this. Previously, the agricultural holding was considered one of the largest producers of meat and milk in the region. Until Andrey Tyutyushev, a Tomsk pig breeder, noticed the company and did not want it for personal use.
How the Tomsk pig breeder crushed the Krasnoyarsk “Sibiryak”
It all started on March 31, 2021. Then Sibagro bought the Sibiryak agricultural holding from Krasnoyarsk businessman Vladimir Yegorov. And already on April 2, the son of a millionaire, the executive director of the Sibiryak construction company, Konstantin Yegorov, was detained in a fraud case. The picture was an interesting one. Especially against the background of worked schemes to take over businesses.
Tomsk pig breeder has found an ideal candidate – Egorov. On which there were levers pressure. It was he who was first accused of debt (20 million rubles for water), and then in the deplorable state of the animals.
Tyutyushev, with a firm hand, sent all the cattle to the slaughterhouse, and fired the people (more in the material: “Fetid Tomsk billionaire: remove cows, people too“).
The icing on the cake then was the arrival of the Minister of Agriculture of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Leonid Shorokhov, to the Nazarovsky District. The head of the department was present at a meeting with the farmers, where the former protege of Tyutyushev, Stanislav Liguzov, sat. But the minister could not find out anything about the mass slaughter of livestock. And then he completely dismissed the questions of journalists and called the information about the slaughter of animals “speculation”.
But the fact remains. The cattle from the Sibiryak were slaughtered, and after the hype, Liguzov was carefully removed from his post. Andrei Shneider took his place. Former head of Vpered LLC in Kuzbass. The company specializes in mixed agriculture. At the same time, local residents were promised jobs, and things are still there.
Now Shorokhov offers the dismissed employees to create an agricultural cooperative. And I am even ready to allocate money from the budget for this. 115 million rubles. Was it worth sending cows to slaughter in order to give money now to buy new ones? Somehow incompatible logically turns out. These expenses could have been avoided. If “Sibiryak” had been saved. And the whims of a visiting businessman did not stomp.
I wonder what Mr. Pig offered Shorokhov for temporary blindness? BABR will continue to monitor developments.
