Head of municipality Ildus Zaripov made a report on social and economic development of Tyulyachi region in 2013 and tasks for 2014.

To the point, agriculture is the main industry of the region. Unfavorable weather conditions adversely affected the region performance last year. Nevertheless, the region managed to improve its social and economic situation in general. According to the rating of socio-economic development of Tatarstan municipal formations by results of 2013, the region ranked 10. The municipality went 8 positions up in the rating. In particular, average monthly salary increased by 27 per cent in 2013 and made 22,700 roubles. Besides, the average salary in the agricultural sector makes 11,000 roubles.

Head of Tyulyachi region noted the growth of business activity and financial stability in the region. The number of farmers has increased by 1.5 times in the last two years. At present, 23 family farms are operating in the region, two farms are under construction.

According to Ildus Zaripov, the key task is to increase investment attractiveness of the region. The industrial park “Tyulyachi”, being the first and most successful infrastructural industrial platform for small and medium business created in a rural area in Tatarstan, is the priority investment project.

Ildus Zaripov reminded that the decision to establish an industrial park in the region was made in 2012. The project contemplates construction of 30-35 small high-technology manufacturing facilities covering an area of 33 ha. According to the strategic development plan, it will lead to creation of 900 new jobs. It is planned to boost industrial production up to 1.5 billion roubles.

According to Ildus Zaripov, it is planned to launch 7 production lines in 2014 in the territory of the industrial park.

“I believe that it is a very good pilot project, an example of how industrial platforms should be established not only in large cities but in rural municipalities,” Ildar Khalikov noted.

Summing up, Ildar Khalikov noted positive tendencies in social and economic development of the region and at the same time pointed out that the agricultural sector of the region has not achieved its maximum potential yet.
