The Market

The region of Krasnodar plays a leading role in the development of the Russian agriculture and food processing. With about 4.5 m hectare of arable land, Krasnodar is the most important region for agriculture in Russia. Fertile back earth soils guarantee high yields of wheat, barley, rice, sunflowers and soy. Thus, the region provides a big potential for manufacturers of agricultural machinery, for the production of high-quality products in the region and for the processing of rice, grain, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, sunflowers, wine etc.

The Russian agricultural and food economy will continue to grow in 2019, following the previous trend. The agricultural sector is of great political and economic importance and is heavily subsidized by the state with the purpose of becoming completely independent from food imports.
The export value of agricultural products is to be doubled to 35 billion euros by the year 2025. Despite rising production and exports, Russia cannot meet its demand alone and is still dependent on imports of agricultural products and modern agricultural machinery from abroad.
The advantages of the Russian market are present consumer demand, the growth and profit opportunities and a low tax burden.
