production lines that allow achieving maximum utilization of reindeer meat for
production of foodstuffs and endocrinology products. Specialists are working
on technologies to produce medications out of young reindeer horns, new
contracts have been signed for fur and leather production.
The leadership of
Yamalo-Nenetsky Autonomous Region is paying serious attention to the solutions
in the area of the agricultural sector of the region's economy. First of all agriculture means reindeer
breeding, fishery, and some other trades which are all inherent to the local
