Imported agricultural machinery priced up to 3 million rubles may be purchased with subsidies

The Russian government has allowed agricultural machinery costing up to 3 million rubles to be purchased with subsidies without being included in the register of Russian industrial products, according to a decree dated October 30, 2026 No. 1433.

The Russian government approved a decree dated October 30, 2026 No. 1433 amending the state program for agricultural development. The changes provide for increased support for farmers.

«In subclause ‘o’, the words ‘with respect to industrial products whose purchase is planned’ shall be replaced with the words ‘with respect to industrial products costing more than 3 million rubles, which have been purchased or are planned for purchase’,» the document on the rules for subsidizing equipment purchases says.

This means that when receiving a subsidy for the purchase of agricultural machinery and food-processing equipment costing up to 3 million rubles, small agribusiness representatives will no longer need to provide confirmation that such equipment is included in the register of Russian industrial products or the register of industrial products with no analogues in Russia, the Rosspetsmash association said.

The federal budget for 2027 includes more than 6.5 billion rubles for subsidizing the expansion of rural tourism, as well as support for priority areas of small agribusiness. In practice, the introduction of the new mechanism may provide for subsidizing imported agricultural machinery and food-processing equipment costing up to 3 million rubles from the federal budget.
