People from various cultures all over the world celebrate the gathering of the harvest. Harvest Festivals have been held as long as people have been sowing and gathering food
Due to the Russian Government a resurgence-возрождение of traditional Russian holidays is happening in order to keep the rich culture and traditions alive in younger generations.
We spoke about it last year/ Let’s make up a short quiz
When do we have our harvest holiday?
Holiday «Day of agriculture and processing industry» is celebrated every year in Russia on the second Sunday of October
Since what time have we been celebrating?
Harvest Day, Day of agriculture and processing industry was established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 31.05.1999,
Why do we celebrate this holiday?
On this holiday we honor not only people of agriculture and processing industry, but also all those who, from dawn to dusk, seven days a week and holidays working on the ground, growing grain and vegetables, supplying our tables with meat, milk and other food products .
The crisis in agriculture and the decline of its production directly inflicts a severe blow to the entire economy, as it leads to a loss of a huge number of free natural resources, these losses have to pay for food imports.
Why is it not simple to farm in our country?
Most of the territory of Russia lies in the zone of risky agriculture. In large parts of the yield varies greatly depending on the weather. Farmers have to expend maximum effort to achieve good performance yield.
Agriculture is an industry of strategic importance for our country. Agricultural products around the world is not just a commodity, it is — a strategic commodity, one of the foundations of a normal existence and progress of a society. Therefore, support for agricultural production is a major task of economic policy/ Modern Russia needs a strong agriculture and processing industry to be competitive on the world market. We all want to return to the days when Russia was the world’s leading suppliers of grain.
Different regions of the Russian workers in agriculture and processing industries celebrate it in their own way. Gala event, a day of agriculture concert is a necessary event in the script of the holiday, many recall their successes and achievements. There are fairs and sales of agricultural products. Leaders congratulate agricultural employees
Аll of us should be aware of those people, due to whom we can eat organic food, meat and milk. Each year on the second Sunday in October, let every citizen of the Russian Federation, recall rural workers and must congratulate all on the Day of agriculture and processing industry.
I think we should give due credit to everyone who worked hard and contributed their bit to achieving this important result that is not at all so easy to obtain.

THERE IS ONE MORE POINT TO BE EMPHASISED WHICH IS SUPOSEDLY VERY SIGNIFICANT
This year OUR farmers have gathered heavy crop.
OUR COUNTRY IS ONE OF THE MAJOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCER COUNTRIES.
We have to think about the future, and the future means promoting the use of new technology. A lot of progress has taken place over these last years WE ARE UNDERGOING GREAT CHANGES NOW, THE lands ARE BEING cultivated BETTER NOW.
THAT’S DUE TO FARMER’s labour, the labour of those who grow the grain and give all their energy and determination to agriculture, which remains a difficult sector even today, when they have new equipment at their disposal. The picture might look positively rosy today compared with say, 15-20 years ago, but this job remains very HARD. WE HOPE WHEN YOU GROW UP, YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAND CULTIVATION AGRICULTERAL MECHANIZATION SO THAT FOOD PRODUCTION COULD MEET DEMAND ALONG WITH THIS TO MAKE
IN OUR COUNTRY major crops ARE STILL THE GRAIN ONES BUT IN RESENT YEARS THE PRODUCTION OF BLACK AND RICE CROP HAS INCREASED considerably.
