Agriculture

The main industry of the region is the agricultural industry. Crops such as sunflower, sugar beets, and wheat are grown in the area; peas, buckwheat, and millet also grow in small quantities. The climate of the region promotes the cultivation of these crops.

In Muchkap district, rural settlements are widespread, where livestock and crop production are actively developing. Currently, there are eight LLCs, eighty-eight farms, 4 agricultural enterprises, as well as private backyards in the district.

The total area of ​​cultivated land is 81,100 hectares. Leguminous and grain crops occupy the bulk of the sown area, and the area of ​​land for their planting is constantly increasing.

There is an increase in the area under sunflower planting, since after its processing the resulting product brings more profit. So since 2002, the area under sunflower has been increased by 18%.

There is also increased interest in sugar beets. Each year, the cultivated area for this crop is increasing, although the percentage of its cultivated area remains small, only 5%.

Recently, livestock production has been stabilizing, at least due to an increase in the number of beef cattle. In general, animal husbandry is being revived at only one enterprise, the Muchkap-Niva Limited Liability Company. At this enterprise, the number of pigs is increased, and the breeding stock of boars and sows was bought. A complete reconstruction of all the pigsties was made. We developed a program for the development of the enterprise in the near future, and also opened a farm where sheep are bred. In livestock farming, private farms play the main role, they produce 93% of cattle meat, 95% of milk and almost 97% of pork.

At the moment, a quite active program is underway to lend to people working in the agricultural industry. These methods allow individuals to increase production volumes. Most of the products on the market are supplied by the population, about half of the gross agricultural output of the region. Agricultural enterprises supply a third of the products to the market, farms produce only 16.5% of the products.
