The Association of Independent Russian Seed Companies (AIRSC) takes an active position in defending the interests of its members and the industry as a whole. While protecting the interests of the Association members, the idea of creating a more efficient, competitive and civilized market for vegetable seeds and an amateur market for flower and ornamental plants are gradually moving forward. AIRSC coordinates its activities with public associations. It unites more than 20 organizations that provide for the production and sale of seeds of vegetable, melon and flower crops for professional and amateur markets in the amount of 70–90% of their total demand in Russia. The article shows the importance of the Association for the development of domestic selection and seed production of vegetable crops. During 2019, the Board of Directors of the Association prepared and sent appeals to such bodies as: EEC, State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Government of the Russian Federation, FS Russian agricultural supervision, Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation, Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. Currently, work continues on the implementation of the so called regulatory guillotine mechanism. The representative of the Association entered one of the expert groups and now takes part in meetings on an ongoing basis and brings to the developers the position of members of our Association. The Board of Directors and the Secretariat of AIRSC in accordance with the decisions of the General Meeting of AIRSC and the Decisions of the Board of Directors in the reporting 2019 constantly carried out a set of measures to turn domestic seed production into a modern industry that is developing on the latest technologies in modern market relations. The Association concentrates its efforts on issues related to the creation of new modern conditions for the development of selection and seed production of vegetable crops, and above all, on state subsidies for selection programs in vegetable production, regardless of the forms of ownership of selection organizations, expansion of scientific research on the development of new selection methods, parameters of technological techniques, optimization of tax policy in selection and seed production, preferential lending in this area, etc.

Key words: association, seeds, selection, vegetable seed production, order, draft, requirements, federal law, control, supervision, regulatory guillotine.
