On November 26 , 2019 , at the press center of the MIA “ Russia Today ” a press conference on the urgent problems of flower gardening in Russia was held .
At the conference , representatives of the National Floriculture Association , the Association “ Greenhouses of Russia ” , the State Duma and the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation discussed the want for state support for domestic flower producers .
An insufficient level of state financial support will bring Russian floriculture to bankruptcy – this was stated by the lieutenant of the State Duma , President of the Association “ Greenhouses of Russia ” Alexei Sitnikov .
“ Without state funding in matters of tax and custom benefit , as well as affordable loaning shape , domestic blossom growers face bankruptcy . In increase to payment by flower producers of a unmarried agrarian revenue enhancement of 6 % , from January 2019 they added VAT – 20 % . This significantly increased both the cost of the flush and its Mary Leontyne Price in the retail . As a result , the fight of Russian products is fall , and foreign producers order the pricing insurance ” , said Aleksey Sitnikov .
Among other reasons for the difficult financial condition of the industry , the speakers called a 3 - fold diminution in the usage tariff on imported flower into Russia ( from 15 % to 5 % ) , as well as a change in the taxation legislating of the Russian Federation , on the footing of which flower - grow factories became VAT payer for charge per unit of 20 % . Recall : until 2019 , the flower industry was subject only to a single agricultural revenue enhancement ( UST ) in the amount of 6 % .
In addition , the increased tax burden , which boil down the gainfulness of domesticated prime plant by 10 - 12 % of turnover , is detrimental to the state of the industry , claim Alexei Sitnikov . At the same prison term , Russian producer can not even out for the drop cloth in incomes by increasing the price of Cartesian product – the cost of the stems will become uncompetitive in comparison with the prevalent import . Due to the consuming volume of imported flowers on the marketplace ( 85 % ) , it is the importers who order the sell prices for prime sold in Russia .
One of the central problems of the industry , the speakers called the gamey bulk of flowers imported into the country . “ Only 5 % is levied for the import of blossom into Russia – this is much the lowest responsibility in the world . For comparison , world leadership in the saving : China – 10 % , EU – 8.5 % . According to the calculations of the NFA , an increase in the duty will make the market cultivated and will not affect the price of products for the final consumer , ” says Alexey Antipov , Chairman of the Board of the National Floriculture Association .
This position is also supported by Sergei Vasilyevich Yakhnyuk – a surrogate of the State Duma , a member of the State Duma citizens committee on agrarian issues , and Alexei Petrovich Mayorov – Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on agrarian - food insurance and environmental management .
“ Russian flower producers require country financial support at the Union degree . Import substitution lies in the field of operations of national interests , therefore , on our initiative in this direction , meeting were repeatedly held at the site of the State Duma , at the Ministry of Economic Development , and a meeting was also curb at the Russian Ministry of Agriculture . The job of the industry and the indigence for government intercession to create more prosperous conditions for the development of flower gardening are key out . We are talking about reducing VAT , providing soft loan , increase customs duties on imported product and , of trend , combating “ gray import ” .
Among other relevant job of the industry , the President of the Association “ Greenhouses of Russia ” Alexei Sitnikov call a high level of borrowing due to the penury for big investments in the construction of glasshouse . For example , the construction of a plant on an area of 12 hectares cost about 2.3 - 3 billion rubles . The fact that the main buyers of Russian blossom are individual entrepreneurs do not belong to value-added tax payers makes further VAT refund impossible for manufacturing business .
grant to the speaker system , an important theatrical role is also play by a variety in the structure and book of flower imports to Russia . According to BusinesStat , Belarus became the primary supplier of emasculated flowers to the Russian market – 49.5 % of all meaning . obstetrical delivery from Belarus are mainly re - exportation and understatement of customs value : under the guise of Belarusian products , good are imported from other countries ( Italy , Kenya , Ecuador , Spain , Israel , etc . ) . In 2018 , 683.2 million units were deliver from Belarus . cut peak , which is 122.6 time more than in 2014 ( 5.572 million unit ) . Russia ’s budget is lose more than 7 billion rubles per twelvemonth due to the Belarusian flower implication scheme .
The solution of the vocalize problems is very important for the further development of domestic flower growing enterprises .
