The Krasnodar Region authorities plan to increase milk and dairy production volumes. This year, investments in the industry will exceed 1 trillion rubles, the press service of the regional administration said.

"Over the past 5 years, the production of agriculture (region - ed.) amounted to almost 2 trillion rubles, this is 7% of the national figure. A significant share in the total volume of agricultural production takes dairy products. Today Kuban is one of the largest milk suppliers in Russia. Kuban produces more than 1.5 million tonnes of milk annually, or over 41% of the total milk production in the Southern Federal District and 5% of Russia's overall milk production. In the all-Russian rating, the region ranks third in milk production in farms of all categories and second in large enterprises," said Fedor Dereka, Minister of Agriculture and Processing Industry of the region, as quoted by the press service.

According to him, all conditions necessary for increasing the volume of dairy products are being created in the region. In particular, considerable state investments are allocated annually for milk production. For example, this year they will exceed 1 billion rubles.

"In the coming years, we intend to increase the production of milk and dairy products, including thanks to the breeding and genetic center that will appear in Kuban," the minister noted.
