Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers in Russia

Not a single state on our planet can function normally without its own agro-industrial complex This branch of material production not only provides a variety of food products to the citizens of a particular country and occupies one of the main places in the foreign economic activity of the state, but also regulates the socio-economic situation in the country, and is also one of the components of the security of any state, regardless of its political and economic devices In the Russian state, agricultural production is among the most important links in the agro-industrial complex and the national economy of the federation Thanks to this industry, about three-quarters of Russians' demand for consumer goods is satisfied In addition, Russia's farmland, which accounts for about 10% of the world's arable land supply, employs just under a third of its material production workers Depending on the global value of agricultural and livestock products, 30–35% of gross national income is generated by the labor of these people In order to honor the hard daily work of workers in agriculture and the processing industry, as well as to remember the difficult and thorny path traveled by employees of these sectors of material production and to lay the foundations for the development of all workers in the field of enterprises and farms, their professional holiday was established According to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 31, 1999, it was announced that this holiday would be celebrated annually every second Sunday in October Thanks to the support of the state and the adopted strategies for the development of these industries, agricultural enterprises have ceased to be an unprofitable sector of material production and began to bring profit to both individual landowners and companies, and the entire Russian Federation as a whole The reduction in the number of unprofitable enterprises engaged in the production and processing of products, the increase in the number of farms and the attraction of large agro-industrial holdings made it possible not only to abandon the involvement of city residents in seasonal work in the fields, but also to introduce more advanced equipment and radically change production management The efforts made by the Russian government and ordinary rural workers, as well as employees of processing enterprises, were appreciated not only by the majority of Russian citizens, but also by foreign investors Thanks to them and the progressive introduction of the labor market, as well as the widespread use of highly efficient equipment and energy-saving technologies, living conditions in rural and township settlements have been improved, which had not been done for decades before The Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers in Russia is intended not only to solve accumulated problems, but also to lay the strongest possible foundation for improving these sectors of the national economy
