The central economic region of Russia of metropolitan importance includes Moscow and 12 regions adjacent to the capital, including Moscow, Tula, Yaroslavl, Bryansk, Tverskaya, Ivanovo, Ryazan, Oryol, Kostroma, Smolenskaya, Kaluga, Vladimir. On its territory of 486 thousand square meters. km with a favorable climate and highly developed industrial and social infrastructure , about 11% of the country's population is concentrated - this is about 30 million people. The population is engaged in economic activities at industrial facilities and in the agricultural sector, in the scientific and design field, in the public education system and other non-productive sectors of the economy.
The historical and economic core of Russia
The geographic and economic regions of the Central Economic Region are in an advantageous position, which compensates for the lack of fossil fuels and minerals on its territory. In this region, water and land lines of communication intersect, which have long been conducive to the rapprochement of Russian lands, the development of economic ties, and primarily trade relations. This region, being in the center of the European part, has been the historical core of Russia since the formation of the state, and until now there is a center of cultural, economic, political and administrative foundations of the Russian Federation.
Area of high economic potential
The central economic region is the basis of the country's economic progress. The area has a highly developed industrial potential, not lacking in electricity and fuel resources due to a developed electricity network and gas and oil pipelines. Here are the scientific, design and experimental bases. Conveniently arranged radial beam transport network of railways and highways, water and air routes is saturated with vehicles. The electric network and pipelines connect the Central region of Russia with other regions and regions of the country, with suppliers of raw materials for the production of various products at the enterprises of the region and with consumers of these products located outside the region. In many cities, the work of social infrastructure and non-production sphere has been debugged . The construction industry is successfully developing here, which is facilitated by the production of building materials in the field. It is also important that highly skilled personnel are concentrated in this area - one third of all scientific workers and one fourth of the number of engineering workers in Russia.
District Industry
The leading structure in the industrial structure of the CER is engineering (automobiles, machine tools, devices). The second place is taken by the food industry, then by the electric power industry, followed by the production of building materials, then (in decreasing order of the share of gross output) the chemical, petrochemical, light and fuel industries, forestry and pulp and paper industries. Complete the list of porcelain and faience and glass industry.
Agricultural industry
The Central Black Earth Region is known for its developed agriculture, mainly represented by vegetable growing, potato growing, poultry farming, dairy farming, and the cultivation of fodder and grain crops.
Ahead of all
The cost of fixed assets of production facilities, gross industrial output, the number of highly qualified personnel of enterprises and institutions put the Central Economic District on these indicators ahead of the remaining 10 economic regions of Russia. This is the region with the highest level of economic development, the largest cultural and scientific center of our country.
