Vologda farmer develops rabbit breeding with the help of a national project

The grant funds were used to purchase a module for the slaughterhouse and technological equipment for slaughter (for the full production cycle), a UAZ Profi truck, which allows you to independently supply products to neighboring cities and towns, as well as agricultural equipment for preparing feed: a baler, a rotary mower and rake.

At the end of this year, the slaughterhouse will be put into operation.

Before the start of the project, the farmer had a livestock farm , 660 heads of rabbits and 5 pigs, a tractor, a mower and a plow. By the end of 2022, the farm already had 1,100 heads of rabbits and 25 pigs. 25 quintals of MEAT sold.

A hired worker was hired to care for the animals, retaining their functional responsibilities throughout the entire period of the project.

Let us remind you that the Agrostartup grant has been provided since 2019 as part of the national project “Small and Medium Enterprises and Support for Individual Entrepreneurial Initiatives,” initiated by the President of RUSSIA. State support can be obtained for breeding cattle , sheep, goats, rabbits, poultry, bees, growing potatoes, vegetables, fruit and berry crops. 

Within the framework of Agrostartup, up to 7 million rubles can be received for cattle breeding, and up to 5 million for other areas. The grant is provided on co-financing terms. The farmer's own funds must be 10% of the project cost.
