Grain producers from 32 regions formed a new body to lobby for policies favorable to farmers, Siberian Agrarian Holding chairman Pavel Skurikhin said Tuesday at its first meeting.
While the Grain Producers’ Union will seek an alliance with the state-owned United Grain Company, it will not form partnerships with grain traders, Skurikhin said. Russia’s Grain Union, an existing lobby, represents traders and producers.
