The prime minister and the governor discussed the establishment and operation of new agro-industrial facilities based on innovative production processes.

“We have set an ambitious goal of increasing the proportion of high technology and science intensive economic sectors in the national GDP by 30% by 2018 as compared with the level of 2011. This is a major challenge.”

"Without increasing the efficiency of agricultural production it will be difficult to ensure the competitiveness of our domestic products, and hence the level of development of the regions, and ultimately the food security of our country."
