Deputy Minister of Agriculture Razin stated at the Eastern Economic Forum that Russia plans to achieve this goal by expanding the rice planting area in the Primorsky Krai.


According to data from the Russian National Bureau of Statistics, the rice planting area in Primorsky Krai this year is 14600 hectares, compared to 8900 hectares in 2023. The rice planting area in this region ranks third in Russia, only behind Krasnodar Krai (117800 hectares) and the Republic of Dagestan (34700 hectares).
