In 2018, Russia failed to fulfill all range of the requirements of the doctrine of food security.
Domestic manufacturers do not supply enough of their own products to provide the population. This follows from the draft report of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.
The doctrine of food security was adopted in early 2010 and is valid until 2020. It indicates the necessary ratio of domestic and imported products in the country in order to define which markets are at risk.
Last year, milk, potatoes and salt did not reach the required level.
The share of Russian milk was 84.2% (the required threshold is 90%). The figure for salt is even lower – 64.2% (the needed level is at least 85%), for potatoes the figure is 94.9% instead of the demanded 95%.
At the same time, the requirements for production of domestic grain, sugar, vegetable oil, meat and meat products were met.
