Over the past two years, since the beginning of the Far Eastern Hectare campaign (July 2016), seventy-seven and a half thousand citizens have received land for the development of their agricultural enterprise.
It is noteworthy that the territories of the Far Eastern Federal District, which today are developed and cultivated by happy owners, in total exceed fifty thousand hectares.
This area is comparable to seventy football fields. For comparison: the area of the state of Andorra is almost forty-seven thousand hectares. And the area of Liechtenstein is sixteen thousand hectares.
Based on the information shared by employees of the Agency for the Development of Human Capital in the Far Eastern Territories. Owners of “hectares” in most cases use the land received as a site for housing (more than fifty-four percent), and in twenty-three percent of cases they begin to establish agricultural activities.
In addition, the Russians are actively developing horticulture and tourism on the hectares they have obtained, open points of sale for farm goods or set up recreation areas.
The lion's share of the owners of the “Far Eastern hectares” are residents of the Far Eastern Federal District, however, there are those who have arrived to develop new lands from the Russian capital, as well as from the Leningrad, Irkutsk, Sverdlovsk regions and from the Kuban open spaces.
