Krasnodar Krai & Sochi
4.8 million hectares of black soil, more than 20 million tourists a year - and the Black Sea.

Agriculture, food processing and winemaking sit alongside the Black Sea ports and the resorts of Sochi, including the Sirius federal territory. The region ranks fourth in the 2026 National Investment Climate Rating and publishes more than a thousand ready investment proposals.
