The study looked at how government spending on agriculture in Russia affects the sector's growth. They found that public spending from 2006 to 2017 had a positive impact on agricultural growth. Supporting general services was the most effective way to spend money, but the budget mainly focused on giving subsidies to individual producers. This helped big producers but investment support efficiency is going down. The study also found that giving support at regional levels instead of nationally can lead to market problems and less efficiency.
