Milking machines

History

2024: Production of milking plants in Russia increased by 3.6% to 2831 units.

The production of milking plants in Russia reached 2831 units in 2024. The figure is 3.6% higher than the level of the previous year. The growth reflects a gradual recovery in investment in the agricultural sector. Increasing the need of farms for modern equipment stimulates production. Dairy farming needs to modernize the technical base. The Ural Federal District became the leader in terms of production volume with a share of 86.6% of the total output. This is evidenced by data from a study by Alto Consulting Group, published in October 2025.

The concentration of production underlines the strategic importance of the region. The Ural District is a center for the assembly and production of agricultural machinery. Developed infrastructure ensures efficient operation of enterprises. Qualified personnel have been accumulated over decades of work of machine-building plants. Access to key component suppliers reduces logistics costs. Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions concentrated the main production facilities.

Seasonal factors determine the demand for agricultural machinery at different periods of the year.

The increase in the production of milking plants is due to a number of key factors in the economy. Farms are actively modernizing production through the introduction of new technologies. Investments in agriculture rose after the economic situation stabilized. State support includes subsidies for the purchase of domestic equipment. Concessional lending makes modernization available to small farms. Leasing programs distribute equipment without large one-time costs.^[1]
