Vyraschivenie ban on potatoes. Truth or fiction?
In recent years, I have repeatedly heard from neighbors and friends, who have their portion in Rosselkhoznadzor banned the planting their potatoes, and only need to buy the seeds in special shops only then you can wreak.
They argue that if I grow potatoes in their area and some of the leave for planting next year, I'm breaking the law and I can dug a fine from 300 to 500 rubles.
Well my first thought, so I think really have lost the fear, very private trader nut twist. And our grandmother this topic in the streets have long tongues warm.
And then I decided to find the source, and in general to understand the situation. I know that the rumors diverge rapidly, and if the rumors spread by our gardeners, all of the above can be easily divided by 10))
And so it happened. First I climbed up on the site and found a consultant that same article of the law numbered 10.12 of the Administrative Code. Indeed, the article provides for penalties for violation of the rules of harvesting, production, storage of seed potatoes. Actually on this basis rose kipish not only in the media, but also among the long tongue.
So whether gardeners plant potatoes?
Of course you can, plant health, and do not listen to any gossip icteric media or especially grandmothers on the bench. In the article there is a reference to the decrees Mnselhoza and the production of seed laws that actually clarifies the situation.
If you land a potato from its own seed, which themselves have grown in the past year, with all the products produced by you, you eat yourself, you were not in danger and sleep quietly.
The law and the decree of Ministry of Agriculture clearly indicates that these penalties apply only to private traders and companies that are engaged in raising, implementation, and seed storage for later sale.
Simply put. If you own crops or seed is not going to sell, there are no penalties will not be. But if you want to sell seeds or crop, you have to provide documents about the origin of these seeds or documents on the seeds of which grow crops.
So sleep well and grow potatoes as you want. And less believe every storytellers and gossips.
