Projects in the field of agriculture, involving the construction of livestock breeding, grain processing and greenhouse complexes worth 84 billion rubles, are planned to be implemented in the regions of the Siberian Federal District. This is provided for by the plan for implementing the strategy for the socio-economic development of the district until 2035, Governor of the Omsk Region Vitaly Khotsenko, head of the Siberian Agreement Council for Agriculture, said at a meeting of the Interregional Association “Siberian Agreement” (SASS).

“In the agriculture cluster, it is planned to implement 11 priority investment projects totaling 84 billion rubles. This will create about 2 thousand new jobs,” he said.
