Putin: Russian food exports exceeded arms exports

Speaking at the “Russia Calling!” Business forum, the Russian president commented on the successes of the domestic agricultural industry and compared it with the arms export industry. According to Vladimir Putin, the sale of food from Russia abroad in 2016 increased almost 5% compared to the year 2015.

Vladimir Putin:

At the end of 2016, our exports of food and agricultural products increased by 4,9%, which amounted to 17,1 billion dollars. And for the whole 2016 year, we sold weapons on 15,3 billion.

Thus, as the president noted, food exports overtook arms exports.

President Putin:

We will continue to remove barriers and increase export support.

It is noted that the growth of Russian food exports is taking place against the background of unprecedented economic pressure on Russia. Economic sanctions imposed by the West, have been operating for more than three years. However, as it turned out, it even helped Russia to increase the volume of exports of the same agricultural products and expand the markets for domestic products.

Armenian Finance Minister Vardan Aramyan against the background of the visit of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to Yerevan, said today that “sanctions have helped Russia to get off the oil needle.”

Of course, I’m glad that it’s not only the state’s budget that’s replenished with oil and gas ... However, you don’t need to deal with idle talk ... If you come from the point of view of a real assessment of the country's food security, then ... hmm ... not quite safe ... sorry for the pun ...
That’s the point of view to consider victories or victories in agriculture ... Will we (our leadership) be able to feed the country in the case of REAL sanctions, when they will not allow us to breathe or swap ???

The only problem is that Russia DOES NOT export integrated circuits ... If we had just 17 billion income from exporting integrated circuits, then yes, it would be a shame, and food is a rather cheap thing, oddly enough. And then the ruble is very cheap, so the dollar amount is very small.

[Siberian]

They made a greenhouse regime for export to the United States as opposed to the DPRK. And, yes - years through 15 it turns out that the economic miracle of South Korea is a mirage. There are such problems with demography that at the time everything is dropped and started to work in three shifts not with the head, but with completely different parts of the body. Otherwise, in a generation they themselves will surrender to the northerners - if only there would be someone to look after the old people.

that's for sure, life is improving. but why? The Russian Grain Union explained what caused the use of wheat intended for livestock feed when baking bread. “It’s no secret that feed wheat (5th grade) is used for bread production. It is used in the so-called“ bodyguard ”: they use improvers, some amount of 4th grade wheat, they make cheaper and better receive a grinding party, "the president of the Grain Union, Arkady Zlochevsky, told reporters.

Commenting on reports about the preparation of GOST, allowing the use of 5th grade wheat for the production of bread, he said that this initiative essentially "enshrines the current state of things in regulatory documents."

[Berber]

This is already nice. Only question - When will we feel it? People have no money, and the "pillars" of democracy are living.

[Berber]

Thank you fellow countryman. Southerners understood each other.

[Berber]

Go shopping. See what they sell to us. Semi-finished products of Western production, despite the sanctions are full. I prefer fresh. But there are many options. For example, if you don’t cycle on wheat, the Turks buy sunflower from us, process it and sell oil to their neighbors. Can't we do it. Pack and do the primary processing of legumes, rice, millet and so on. There are many examples to cite. It should be comprehensive - economics + politics.

Can and buns with preservatives

How would you explain, so as not to offend?
Cows do not eat flour, and it’s not accepted to feed them with rolls in the world.

Yeah, only it’s impossible to export bakery products - you’ll harden while you carry it, flour is also not an option — you will reduce the circle of consumers, because a buyer in the West can make everything out of grain. what he wants, but the finished flour is already a serious limitation of its use - you can’t feed cattle with flour, but you can grain)
Etc. etc ...

For myself and others I judge. Until the age of 14, it was better. The main sanction blow was taken by the population. The oligarchs only got rich during this time. Yes, we are not starving, but purchasing power has fallen.

[bk316]

, we are not starving, but purchasing power has fallen.

Of course I fell, the course has changed.
True sanctions here in general nothing to do with, it determines all the exchange rates, but it depends on the price of oil. I will not say anything about the oligarchs, it is obvious that those who sell oil are not particularly rich.
And in general, what do you mean when you say get rich?
Income or wealth?

[Berber]

If I am not mistaken, the first five in Forbes for $ 100 billion in positive territory. Is a drop in purchasing power and an increased exchange rate good? And with sanctions.

I can afford to buy a Swiss watch in Moscow, but I will lose 6 thousand euros on this. If I buy in Switzerland, it will be cheaper, but if I buy in the branded boutique of this brand in Vienna (oddly enough), then, taking into account the VAT refund for foreigners (tax free), I will save these 6000 euros. But ... only if I'm going to Vienna. And I won’t buy this watch at all.

Did not notice that expensive. Pork is not frozen minced meat as a table 4 years ago about 250 rubles, and now it costs. And the chicken. And the eggs. And buckwheat ... well, I'll go to the wilds. In short, if anything has risen in price, these are some fruits and vegetables. And that’s not all. We can find a kilo of potatoes for 9 rubles - it's a penny.

Hmm ... And here I am, in the Moscow region for a minute I feel a maximum of 1000 rubles of growth over all the years - that is, in the 14th I gave 5000 rubles for a certain average package of products, now about 6000 rubles.

But here’s what I noticed - about how everything “went up, there is no money, nothing to eat” shout in 90% of cases, those who, as it turns out, bought a new iPhone, a new car, etc., and did it exactly in the midst of a crisis ... Don't you find a strange pattern?

[APASUS]

Honestly, I go to the store every other day and I don’t understand in any way where this super success in agriculture is!

[Reptiloid]

I myself rarely go to the store. But from my mother I hear that, here, the end of October, there are a lot of seasonal products and that there are a lot of promotions. She has her favorite shops in St. Petersburg. There are products in bright packaging, they are more expensive than in simple.
I read once a long time ago a newspaper that earlier in the USSR there was such a thing as a mobilization economy. That the Russian Federation is not able to do it right now. Well, it would have worked out.

[Catherine II]

"At the end of 2016 <...> the export of food and agricultural products increased by 4,9%, which amounted to $ 17,1 billion. For the entire 2016, we sold weapons for $ 15,3 billion," he said.

The rapid increase in food exports, exceeding the export of weapons and good and bad.
By armament

Nevertheless, this segment in the general structure of domestic exports is still small: 2,5-3 percent before the devaluation of the ruble and up to 4 percent — now

.
For me, the weapons market is much better in terms of high value-added products and services. than just exporting primary raw materials (for example, 3 grains and lower grades).
The main balance. But prices in the country are reflected in the increase (food prices) for the balance with export prices. A system of subsidies and preferences is needed, but it will be sent to corporations. But they prefer profit-than price stabilization in the domestic market ...

[Albert1988]

Quote: Catherine II

But on domestic prices reflected in the increase

Respected. Nobody has been working in Russia for a long time on the principle of “we’ll not eat, but we’ll take out”, and prices are rising annually due to ruble inflation, the reasons for which are a completely different story.

[Roman 11]

Thus, as the president noted, food exports overtook arms exports. Why rub the glasses? Yes, even on the forum. If the numbers are not invented, then we consider the column - 17,1 yards - 5% = 16, with copecks in 2015 ...... i.e. it turns out we were ahead of last year's figures for agricultural exports, we just sold less weapons in 2016. And this is not surprising, the market with all the wars oversaturated weapons. In other words, we can’t sell anymore, we don’t have anything new yet that could .... helicopters, Terminators a couple of, and the S-400 are our shock contracts. But not all NATO members will buy the S-400, Indians and Chinese will rather confine themselves to the samples, or they will build it under their own license, are there several more Arab state-owned TVs and everything? What else can we offer to the foreign market, which is so crowded? Armata? But she is raw. So that?

Our 15 yards is the ceiling, then as forums do not call and who do not invite, they will still wait for serious discounts.

We sold out heavily on these sanctions, poured the market for guns and tanks ...... the further we will plug the budget gaps? There is still this trick for the elections should be so that the Papuans correctly vote, so what to raise pensions? or index?

Everything goes out of stagnation for the president of Russia, but he doesn’t specify which Kremlin corridor it creeps into and into which pocket the Karigan oligarch? like Rotenberg, the bridge is completed ..... I can imagine what a breakthrough Russia will make after the construction of the bridge. Oh yes - there Sakhalin is outlined, again unlucky with a way out of stagnation.

[andrej-shironov]

It is strange that food prices are rising inside Russia, despite all the mantras about increasing its production and lowering inflation! Something is wrong in the Danish kingdom!

[Albert1988]

Do the words "inflation", "cartel conspiracy", "monopoly" not say anything to you? The problem is. that we have huge ruble inflation in our country (there are many reasons and they are very diverse), plus we simply do NOT have antitrust laws, and when we have different, at first glance, retail chains, for example, Pyaterochka, Victoria and Perekrestok "one owner, then prices in all stores will rise simultaneously and regularly.

[andrej-shironov]

And why the antitrust laws do not work, do not tell me? And please tell me how much do you think the margin on products in the networks? And are retail chains lobbying their business in the State Duma and the Government?

[Albert1988]

Quote: andrej-shironov

And why the antitrust laws do not work, do not tell me?

Because the real owners are sitting / have ties in the country's leadership - the work of antitrust legislation is trite disadvantage to very many influential figures.

Quote: andrej-shironov

And please tell me how much do you think the margin on products in the networks?

It depends on the type of product - the margin can reach 200% and 300%, and not necessarily in the networks - our domestic trade, in principle, gives huge margins on goods. The reason is still the same - hidden monopolies and cartel conspiracies in this area, plus a huge number of resellers.

Quote: andrej-shironov

And are retail chains lobbying their business in the State Duma and the Government?

Of course lobby! Actually, many of their owners / co-owners live there. A very clear example is the war of Sobyanin against "small" trade in favor of large trading networks.

[andrej-shironov]

And it remains to ask; who is to blame?

[Albert1988]

Well, you’re just asking the original “Russian questions” - you just have to ask “what to do?”))))
This is to blame for so many random and regular factors, and so many people, too, both random and extremely interested, that a one-year course of lectures is required to describe all this.
In short, the current situation in the country is a logical result of the incompetent activities of first citizen Gorbachev and then frankly criminal activity of citizen Yeltsin ... And we will, alas, be the fruits of their activity. reap a long time.
On the other hand, all these Western "sanctions" are somewhat sobering on some of our "leaders" ...

[andrej-shironov]

Those. Do you think that the activities of citizen Putin, coupled with a mediocre government and neoliberals, are good?

[andrej-shironov]

Quote: andrej-shironov

And you do not know these arguments? Maybe our industry is growing? Is the demographic situation improving? High level education? There are still a lot of all kinds of arguments, but I think you yourself know them.

I'm sorry that I didn’t answer for so long - I was sitting in the bathhouse. Regarding the "arguments" - I will give you a short example from personal experience - my father is an engineer and most of his friends are also engineers, they mostly work at enterprises of different directions in different regions of Russia - who is in the Moscow region (like my dad), some in St. Petersburg, some in Magnitogorsk. So now they all unanimously say that the intensity of the work of factories has increased dramatically, new jobs began to appear and new young cadres appeared gradually. Of course there are problems with a cart and a small cart, but the work has gone and it pleases.
Regarding demography, yes. everything is difficult, but as an example, most of my former classmates, with whom I still keep in touch, and those who are married (and most of them) give birth to their second child. One, I still can’t sway all))) At the same time, everyone lives in Russia, note that there are no "millionaires" among them.
Regarding education, I myself am currently working in this area, I know what horror there is. but there are also positive trends - for example, throughout the hated USE, tests for tasks with a detailed answer are being actively replaced, while timid rumors are leaking from the ministry that everyone who is disgusted will be seriously reformed to our needs. In schools, they have actively resumed such a useful thing as Design and Research Activities, for all classes from 5th to 10th ...
So my advice to you is to try to collect as much information as possible, analyze and draw conclusions ...
