The emphasis, understandably, is on markets, exports, production levels, transportation and logistics etc. But personally would love to know more about their 'bio-fertilizers' and the degree to which the 'high-tech' aspects of their modern farming methods dovetail with natural and organic approaches. Thanks for providing this.
Of course, they're all in Russian. Hydroponics is also big in Russia, so you might try a search in that realm. As far as I can tell, biofertilizers is a new term for what was once known as green manures.
Thanks for all these updates on Russia, Karl. What I see unfolding is an emerging Russia and a declining West both moving in opposite directions industrially, politically, socially, economically and militarily. Earlier in my life I considered North America as the modern world and a global leader. Now all I see is the steady decline of the entire West as the East rises. How about that?
The East was bound to rise. What's somewhat unnatural is the West's decline. Vice President Henry Wallace warned the world and the US public of the dangers of US Fascism in 1944 and a year later it was already on the rise and in control of the government.
It appears Russia is positioning itself very favorably in the agricultural sphere. That will become more and more important I think as time goes by. One has only to look at what is happening in the western countries regarding food production to see there is trouble ahead.
The choice to go non-gmo and promote organic practices immediately sets it apart. The focus on seed sovereignty is key. Then there's the land resource that's never been used to its potential. The Outlaw US Empire greatly abused its foodstuffs soft power and will easily become the last choice moving forward. One thing I didn't comment upon is the proposed BRICS commodity exchange. Taking the pricing power away from the West will be as important as dedollarization. Another problem for the West are its monocultures and the inputs they require. Russia's agro-industrial complex isn't to be confused with Western industrial agriculture. Another fact is raising wages allow Russian to purchase more foodstuffs, and that will follow in other developing nations. Imagine Russia's capacity once the liberation of Greater Russian lands is finished and they return to work.

I used Russian biofertilizer as the term for a Yandex search and got a slew of hits, this one being first, http://altenergo.su/production/biofertilizers/?ysclid=ltghrtpl54492630943
