This has been announced today by the Chairman of the regional Government Abdulmuslim Abdulmuslimov. As to the top official, in connection with the rise in prices for chicken eggs, the Head of Dagestan Sergei Melikov instructed to work out measures to stabilize the situation.

"This problem has affected not only our republic, but the other regions too. The day before this topic was commented on by the President V.Putin during his Direct Line. Federal agencies, including supervisory agencies, started working in this direction.

At the same time, in order to stimulate investment activity in this area, we proposed to quadruple the financing of poultry farming for 2024 from the republican budget in relation to 2023, from 5 to 20 million rubles.

Abdulmuslimov noted that in Soviet epoch Dagestan actively developed egg production and poultry farming, "this issue was seriously dealt with then". Later, the population reoriented to the production of meat and chicken. In 2022, Dagestan produced 252 million eggs, the level of self-sufficiency in our region is only 30%. The total need for the population of the republic is more than 830 million eggs.
