About the state support of Russian floriculture

Despite everything, the Russian flower market is growing and developing. According to the marketing agency BusunesStst, sales of cut flowers in Russia in 2024 increased by 5% and exceeded 2 billion pieces. More recently, 9 out of 10 flowers were imported to Russia from abroad, and today every fifth flower is produced in Russia. The annual production of Russian flowers has exceeded 400 million stems.

Government support and optimism: the flower sector is taking a step towards independence

The government is considering measures to provide state support to Russian flower growers, and industry representatives are determined to bring Russian flower production to 70% of the capacity of the Russian flower market.

The support of Russian floriculture is in the focus of attention of both the executive and legislative branches of government in Russia. Thus, the Federation Council is developing a roadmap for the development of domestic floriculture, which will stimulate investment activity in the industry. The State Duma has programs aimed at reducing dependence on imports.

Before March 8, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin visited the Podosinki greenhouse complex near Moscow, one of the most modern and dynamically developing greenhouse enterprises in Russia. During the visit, the conversation turned to measures of state support for the industry. Highly appreciating the success of the company and the industry as a whole, the Prime Minister spoke about measures to support Russian floriculture.

In his speech, he stressed that the growth of domestic production was made possible by a set of government support measures, including short-term preferential loans, a special five-year program for agricultural equipment, greenhouses and software. Mikhail Mishustin said that support for the floriculture industry in Russia will continue. Consequently, the development of floriculture in the country will continue.

Many major Russian manufacturers will be among the participants of the International Exhibition "TsvetYexpo", the key exhibition of the Russian flower and plant market, from September 8-10, 2025 at the Crocus Expo IEC.
