The Processing Industry

The processing industry is a growing sector in Russia, and an important factor in its economic development. Key industries, including mechanical engineering and metallurgy, metal, timber, and food processing, and chemical and light industries generate large flows of cargo and their cost of production depends on transportation expenses.

Historically, about 70% of industrial production in Russia has been concentrated in its central and Volga regions, in the Urals, and in Western Siberia. Recent changes in the investment climate and the introduction of a zero duty rate on many types of equipment has significantly boosted industrial modernization in the last 5 years.
