The report section is devoted to the agro-industrial complex. The head reported that 15 legal entities and 320 peasant farms are involved in the agricultural sector of the district. The area of agricultural land is almost 30 thousand hectares, the sown area is 21137 hectares. The activities of farmers are aimed at growing and producing grain, industrial, fruit and vegetable and forage crops, and to a lesser extent, producing livestock products. Sergei Sokirka drew attention to the problem that owners of subsidiary and peasant farms have recently faced at the same time: the acceptance of milk from them for processing has been minimized. The head of district asked for assistance in resolving this issue. The agenda includes the improvement of solid waste collection sites, public transport waiting points, and parking lots. The plans include a major overhaul of Kamenka-Tiraspol road (the section from Katerinovka to Rashkov). Several more solid fuel boilers will be purchased for various institutions in the district in the near future (three were purchased and installed earlier). An agreement has already been signed with the Elektromash plant for the supply of four units – for three schools and a kindergarten. Similar, but more powerful equipment is needed for the district hospital. The local Department of Housing and Public Utilities needs an excavator. This purchase will be made at the expense of the enterprise's profits. The construction of a storm drain along the main streets of the city will continue, and the road surface will need to be restored then. Among the tasks and problems that require an immediate solution, Sergey Sokirka highlighted the need to repair the House of Culture of the village of Khrustovaya, as well as administrative buildings of the state administration. The head of the district did not ignore the city park. Sergey Sokirka noted that a lot has been done, but the scope of work is still large. For example, a gravity system for the pond is needed. The estimated cost of the project is 1.9 million rubles. The head of the Kamenka state administration returned to the repeatedly raised problem of creating conditions for accommodating elderly citizens living alone. There are about fifty of them in Kamenka district. Another topic that the head of the district touched upon was the expediency, in his opinion, of merging rural libraries with school libraries.
The President, having listened to the report, opinions and proposals of officials, gave his recommendations. He directed residents of Kamenka to activate domestic business activity. The President emphasized that Kamenka district is distinguished by excellent natural and ecological conditions. The state contributed to the restoration of the historical park. The Dniester sanatorium is successfully operating. All these factors give reason to expect the development of the tourism sector and the economy of the district as a whole. "If Wittgenstein succeeded, then you should succeed too," the President aimed. He spoke about serious state investments in the social infrastructure of Kamenka district through the Capital Investment Fund. The President drew attention to the unprofitability of the local market, noting that the reasons should be understood and measures taken to eliminate them. Vadim Krasnoselsky mentioned in addition the Kamenka nursery, where seedlings are purchased for the needs of the entire republic. There is a sales market, it is necessary to develop this direction, the President emphasized.
The work of the State Administration of Kamenka District and the city of Kamenka was recognized in general by the President as satisfactory.
