(AGENPARL) – MOSCOW lun 10 aprile 2023

At the beginning of the meeting, the President noted
that the Primorye Territory was showing very good or satisfactory results with
regard to the main socioeconomic indicators. He suggested discussing those problems
that required special attention from both the Governor and the federal centre.

Oleg Kozhemyako said he was ready to report on the Primorye Territory’s development results in 2022 and prospects for 2023 and subsequent
years, and to discuss a number of issues that require decisions at the presidential
level. However, first he told the President about the efforts to support the residents of the region who are taking part in the special military operation
and their family members. Mr Kozhemyako mentioned the deliveries of equipment
and uniforms the region sent to the front line and made several proposals to make them more effective.

Then the Governor proceeded to the economic issues
the resolution of which requires the President’s support.

First, he mentioned a series of typhoons that destroyed
roads, bridges and power lines, and damaged agricultural crops and housing last
summer. A federal-level emergency was declared. In cooperation with the Emergencies
Ministry, the Primorye Territory conducted emergency and recovery work and stabilised
the situation. The region spent 2.7 billion rubles from its budget for these
purposes. It will have to complete
large-scale recovery efforts – repair roads and build bridges – in the coming summer.
In this context, the Governor asked the President to instruct the Russian
Federation Government to allocate money from the Reserve Fund to compensate for the region’s spending on the full recovery of the destroyed infrastructure.

Then the Governor proceeded to speak about the results of the region’s economic development. He reported that the GRP had
reached 1.5 trillion rubles and agriculture was showing good trends. For the first time, the region produced 1.1 million tonnes of grain and soya despite
the emergencies. Rusagro completed the construction of livestock breeding facilities
and fully provided the region with pork. GreenAgro is carrying out dairy farming
projects, and Mikhailovsky Broiler is producing poultry. The region has good results
in transport and logistics – 133 percent; housing – 117 percent; domestic
tourism – 111 percent; and investment – 146 percent. It continues building crab-fishing
boats under investment quotas – 19 crab boats worth 41 billion. A new crab
quota auction is scheduled for this year, and Oleg Kozhemyako asked the President
to keep in place the preferential arrangements for Far Eastern shipyards to build
these boats and give relevant instructions to the Government and the Agency for Fishery.

The Governor said this year the region’s foreign
trade had grown by 18 percent to reach US$10 billion.

To be continued.
