Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with the Head of the Republic of Karelia, Artur Parfenchikov. The main topics discussed were the development of the agro-industrial complex, rural areas, and ensuring the region's environmental well-being.
Dairy farming continues to develop in the Republic of Karelia. Progress is also being made in aquaculture. By the end of 2025, the region confirmed its status as the country's leader in trout production, with over 33,000 tons raised. Furthermore, the harvesting of niche aquatic bioresources achieved record levels for the region.
Improving the quality of life in rural areas remains a priority for the region. From 2020 to 2025, approximately 750 million rubles were allocated from the federal budget for rural development activities, with over a billion rubles allocated this year. In 2026, comprehensive projects will cover three key communities: Kostomuksha, Olonets, and Sortavala.
Dmitry Patrushev and Artur Parfenchikov also discussed the implementation of the national project "Environmental Well-Being." They also focused on the progress of waste management reform in the northern region, specifically the creation of modern infrastructure through 2030.
The meeting also addressed the issue of upgrading municipal solid waste containers and developing container sites. The leadership of the Republic of Karelia is currently working to optimize garbage truck logistics and improve waste collection. This is especially important for remote areas. Dmitry Patrushev noted the need to expedite this work to ensure the comfort of residents throughout the region.
