In early September, a representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade said the Russian bioeconomy development strategy through 2036 had been submitted to the government for review, with its approval expected in the near future.

According to the explanatory note to the draft federal budget for the next three-year period, financing of the national bioeconomy project in 2027–2029 is planned at around 12 billion rubles.

The national project "Technological Support for the Bioeconomy" was approved in late 2025. It includes three basic federal projects: "Organising Production and Stimulating Sales of Bioeconomy Products," "Scientific and Technological Support for Bioeconomy Development," and "Analytical, Methodological and Personnel Support for the Bioeconomy."
