On January 21, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a decree approving the new edition of the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation. The previous version of the document was valid from 2010.
The doctrine provides for a change in the previously adopted methodology for calculating food security. To assess it, instead of the share of domestic production in total domestic consumption, an international indicator of self-sufficiency will be used. It includes not only the ratio of production to consumption, but also the compliance of products with the requirements of the EAEU technical regulation, as well as the calculation of the economic and physical availability of food.
The Food Safety Doctrine included new product groups - vegetables and melons, fruits and berries, seeds. The share of domestic production in domestic consumption should be at least 95% for grain, 90% for vegetable oil, 90% for sugar, 85% for meat and meat products, 90% for milk and dairy products, 95% for potatoes, 90% for vegetables, 60% for fruits and berries, 85% for fish and fish products, 75% for seeds of domestic selection and 85% for salt.
