Economy and Production
The Krasnodar Region is rightfully called a prop of the
economics of the country: the region leads in construc-
tion, industry, transport. It's here where the largest in-
ternational airports and railway hubs are located, and
even the remote corners of the territory are laced with a
well-developed network of motorways. The southern sea
gates of Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Temryuk and Yeysk pro-
vide direct access to international waterways. That allows
the Krasnodar Region defending Russian interests in the
areas of the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea Economic
Cooperation.

The transport complex of the
territory is one of the most
ā important elements for the
economy of Kuban, as well as for
the entire Russian Federation. A
network of high-quality motorways
and railways threads all the territo-
ry providing favourable conditions
for business activity. Seaports of
the Krasnodar Region are the main
Russia's access to countries of the
Mediterranean region; they provide
up to 40% of cargo turn-over of all
Russian ports. Two largest interna-
tional transport and energy projects
of Russia are set up here: the Blue
Stream Gas Pipeline between Rus-
sia and Turkey and terminals of the
Caspian Pipeline Consortium.
The industrial complex of the
Krasnodar Region extensively
features energy providers, min-
ing businesses, enterprises of
the processing industry, where
leading positions are held by
food manufacturing plants that
are well known in Russia and far
beyond its borders. Mechanical
engineering, petrochemical sec-
tor and chemical industry, con-
structional materials industry
develop dynamically. Oil and gas
extraction and oil processing are
16
an integral part of the regional
economy. The Krasnodar Region
is the oldest oil-producing area
in Russia. Oil has been produced
here since 1864.
More than 60 types of commer-
cial minerals have been discov-
ered in the mines of Kuban. Main-
ly they are deposited in foothills
or mountainous areas. There are
reserves of oil, natural gas, marl,
iodide-bromine waters, mar-
ble, limestone, sandstone, grav-
el, quartz sand, iron and apatite
ores, rock salt.
Kuban has always been a granary
of Russia, the region that feeds
the entire country. High-quality
wheat, million tonnes of Kuban
rice, sugar beet, sunflower seeds,
tea plantations, citrus fruits,
vineyards a generous region
provides Russia with the heavi-
est crops. The total land area in
the region is over 7.5 mln ha, and
4 mln ha of them is a tilled area.
No other region of Russia can
be compared with Kuban by a
level of viticulture development.
The 'amber berries' are grown by
51 households here, while 34 of
them process them to produce
quiet, sparkling, white and red
but always noble and natural
drinks that are notable for their
flavour and quality far beyond the
borders of the country.

There are several climate zones in
the territory - a moderately con-
tinental and a subtropical one. It's
the proximity of subtropics that
annually grants millions of tour-
ists the warmest summer and
the longest resort season. Sochi,

ative springs, ancient cultural
sites, colourful traditions of Cos-
sacks...
The territory is proud of its con-
recent
struction sector. Over
years, the Krasnodar Region
has been a stable leader by vol-
umes of housing commissioning.
It's important that aside from
multi-storey housing, great at-
tention is paid to creating fa-
vourable conditions for develop-
ment of low rise private housing
construction taking traditions
and specificities of the region
into account.
