Two clusters will be created in Crimea, where new industrial production will be created

In his opening remarks, Sergei Aksyonov emphasized that the industrial sector in Crimea is the main driver of development, providing a third of the consolidated budget of the republic.

It is very important to continue to provide government support to both existing industrial enterprises and to create new ones, to constantly increase the human resources potential of the industry, – says the Head of the Republic.

Thus, currently, together with the federal center, as part of the integrated development of territories in Crimea, two clusters are being formed, which include the creation of new industrial production. A number of proposals for the implementation of these projects are under discussion with the Government of the Russian Federation.

Among other priority tasks in the industrial sector, Sergei Aksyonov named increasing retail trade turnover and controlling pricing policy.

Pricing control remains one of the most important areas today. The income of citizens and the prices of food and medicines must be correlated. We need to continue to work on this issue— said the Head of Crimea.

In addition, Sergei Aksyonov raised the topic of organizing fairs and selling Crimean goods, including in permitted places along the Tavrida highway.

Priority must be given to the producers of agricultural products themselves, and not to intermediaries and resellers. This will guarantee the quality of products and will support farmers and agricultural enterprises. The leadership of municipal administrations should pay special attention to this area, – says the Head of the Republic.

In turn, acting Minister of Industrial Policy of the Republic of Crimea Anushavan Aghajanyan informed that the department is now developing a regulatory act regulating the activities of such fairs, based on the experience of colleagues from the Krasnodar Territory.

Next, Anushavan Aghajanyan made a report on the key results of the industry’s activities. During the event, plans and prospects for the development of specialized enterprises of the republic were also discussed.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Igor Mikhailichenko, representatives of industrial enterprises of the republic, and others.
