According to Art. 2 specified normative act, private household plots mean a special form of non- entrepreneurial activity aimed at the production and processing of agricultural products.

Types of subsidies provided to the owner of a personal subsidiary plot

The areas in which state support is provided are established by Art. 7 of Federal Law No. 112 of July 7, 2003.

According to the provisions of the article, state support for private household plots is provided in the following areas:
