“Feed the planet”: Russia once again left everyone behind

7
Toward the end of the year, it turned out that Russia had broken one important record that could surprise the world. So, the volume of wheat supplies abroad amounted to 42 million tons. Over the past three decades, not a single state has shown such high rates.

In the previous year, Russia managed to sell $ 21 billion worth of food abroad. This figure even exceeded the amount received from the sale of weapons. Then they said that this is the ceiling. Now, however, Russia intends to supply food products in the amount of $ 26 billion. In total, $ 147 billion is expected from non-primary and non-energy exports. This will exceed the record set in 2013. Thus, the process of moving away from the raw material model economics.



Russia supplies half of the planet with energy, and now we can say that it also feeds many countries. Behind this, of course, is the hard work of many people who work in agriculture and in food enterprises. For example, in confectionery factories. Russian sweets, in particular, the famous chocolate brands - "Alenka", "Babaevsky" and others - are in demand in the world and successfully conquer the foreign market.

In addition, one of the largest infrastructure projects is being successfully implemented in Russia. It is about the country's transition to digital broadcasting. On the basis of the Northern Fleet in the Murmansk region, in the village of Vidyaevo, the launch of its last facility, a television tower, was carried out.

Now 98% of Russians have the opportunity to watch not four analogue TV channels for free, but at least twenty, and also listen in digital quality to three radio channels. Over the next year, a full transition to digital television is planned.

        Because bread is not grain, it is one of its components. It is necessary to dry the grain, grind it, bring it to the bakery, there is a lot more that goes into the bread, bake it and bring it to the store and in the store, pay the seller, taxes, rent, light.

      In fact, the author should know that grain is a commodity with an extremely low (lower than oil) surplus value.
