Deputies of the Astrakhan Regional Duma introduced amendments to the law “On personal subsidiary farming” in the State Duma, which propose to give the right to regions to set quotas for the number of personal livestock. “In many private farms there are more than 50 heads of cattle, up to 1000 sheep, 40 horses… This indicates the actual implementation of entrepreneurial activity,” the document says. Its authors suggest that private households register as sole proprietors and pay taxes or “alienate excess livestock”.
“We have already passed dekulakization, and history has shown that it is impossible to act like this,” says expert of the RANEPA Center for Agri-Food Policy, Professor Vasily Uzun. — We have LPH already disappearing. In the 90s, they provided 26% of agricultural products, now much less. Hence the problems of shortage of potatoes, carrots, etc. And now we’re going to threaten quotas? Of course, it is necessary to bring rich private farms to farmers, but not by prohibitions, but by low taxes and simplified reporting. Today, a dozen departments immediately pile on the owner, who has become an individual entrepreneur. In the pursuit of taxes, you can lose both agricultural products and peasants who will leave for the cities.
