Preferential loans for the development of the linen industry
To date, the products of the linen industry are one of the most popular sources of fibrous raw materials in the field. Flax fiber has recently gone beyond the textile and light industry and experts predict an increase in demand for flax raw materials. In these conditions, it is necessary to provide substantial financial support to enterprises for the production and processing of bast crops. Domestic agricultural producers are interested in the development of the textile industry, which, in turn, is reflected in an increase in demand for agricultural raw materials, primarily flax.
"For the effective work of the sub-sector, it is necessary to draw up a full-fledged plan for the development of the linen industry for the next few years. It is necessary to jointly form a complete list of enterprises and farms planning to modernize production facilities and equipment.

Until recently, many enterprises could not count on the full support of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry and Trade, due to the fact that the production and processing of flax was often managed by one company. Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia has begun to pursue a policy in this industry coordinated with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, since demand from textile workers remains a determining factor in the further development of the linen complex of Russia.
At the meeting, it was stated that since 2017, regions in which the flax industry is traditional and economically significant can direct federal budget funds to support flax fiber production under a single subsidy. As well as flax production and processing enterprises can be included in the preferential lending mechanism with timely submission of relevant applications for obtaining a 5% loan for the modernization or construction of new enterprises for cultivation and processing, for the purchase or upgrade of equipment, for the creation of breeding and seed centers, logistics bases.
