Cultivation and processing of oilseeds
The Russian oilseed market is traditionally export-oriented. The enterprises of the fat and oil industry occupy one of the leading places in the agro-industrial complex of the country.
Exports are represented by both seeds and products of their processing (oil and cake).
Favorable agro-climatic conditions for the cultivation of oilseeds (rapeseed, mustard and ginger) in the Yaroslavl region make it possible to achieve high harvest rates (about 30 quintals of rapeseed per hectare (19.6 is the average for the Central Federal District).
This ensures stable market growth, high export potential and marginality of production.
The demand for oilseeds is consistently high and tends to increase.
To date, rapeseed is recognized as the most profitable agricultural crop.
The Yaroslavl Region is ready to offer lands potentially certified as organic for the implementation of an investment project in this area.
