In 2024, Kabardino-Balkaria achieved a significant milestone by dispatching approximately 10,000 tonnes of high-quality corn seeds to over 70 Russian regions, including prominent areas like Tatarstan, Smolensk Oblast, and Chuvashia. This accomplishment aligns with the objectives of the national project “International Cooperation and Export,” as reported by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.
This 15% increase in seed shipments compared to 2023 underscores the region’s commitment to enhancing its agricultural output. Corn remains a pivotal grain crop in Kabardino-Balkaria, and the consistent rise in seed distribution reflects the region’s dedication to bolstering both domestic and international agricultural markets.
The success of these seed shipments is attributed to the rigorous quality control measures implemented. All dispatched seeds met stringent phytosanitary standards, ensuring their suitability for cultivation across diverse Russian territories. Beyond domestic distribution, Kabardino-Balkaria has also ventured into exporting seed material, contributing to Russia’s growing presence in the global agricultural sector.
To combat challenges posed by arid conditions, the region has invested in modern irrigation solutions. The deployment of wide-coverage sprinkler systems has been instrumental in maintaining soil moisture levels, thereby securing robust crop yields even during dry spells.
The “International Cooperation and Export” national project, active from 2019 to 2024, aimed to establish new economic partnerships and amplify the export of Russian-produced goods. Kabardino-Balkaria’s achievements in increasing corn seed shipments exemplify the project’s success in fostering regional agricultural development and international trade relations.
As of 2025, under the directive of President Vladimir Putin, Russia has embarked on the implementation of updated national projects, building upon the foundations laid by previous initiatives to further enhance the country’s economic and agricultural landscape.
