A new mobile procurement and processing outfit will be opened in Taimyr later this year. The project has won the contest for a subsidy under a program designed to preserve the traditional way of life and economic practices of the indigenous small-numbered peoples, press service of the Agency for the Development of Northern Territories and Support for the Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory reports.
The subsidy amounts to 19.7 million rubles. The mobile facility will operate where indigenous small-numbered peoples migrate and engage in traditional fishing and hunting, and will produce frozen or smoked precooked foods from reindeer meat or fish, dried wild-growing herbs, as well as ultra-processed foods.
It is noted that the facility will be able to turn out 562 kg of stuff per day and up to 205 tons per year, with a potential for growth.

“These projects produce a real economic effect in northern areas. When the processing and marketing are organized near fishing and hunting grounds, costs go down, households are more stable, and, most importantly, conditions are created for people to live and work on their land without breaking off with their traditional lifestyles,” head of the territory’s Agency for the Development of Northern Territories Anton Narchuganov said.

The selection of employees from among the indigenous small-numbered peoples will begin in summer, with the facility itself to be put into operation in September.
