The country's leader began his workday in Kamenka. The President arrived for an official visit and met with the head of the state administration. The current issues regarding the district's operations were discussed with particular attention to the agricultural situation. Sergey Sokirka reported that the Kamenka agricultural sector comprises 16 organizations and 325 peasant-farmer holdings. The total land area is 25400 hectares, with 24900 hectares designated for agricultural use and 20835 hectares actually sown. Legal entities utilize 13411 hectares, while peasant-farmer holdings use 10050 hectares. Grain and legume crops (wheat, barley, corn, and peas for grain) were sown on 9658 hectares. Industrial crops (rapeseed, sunflower) cover 10610 hectares; fodder crops, 145 hectares; vegetables, 374 hectares; orchards, 1409.2 hectares; and vineyards, 545 hectares. Nut-bearing trees are grown on 66.5 hectares (with less than half currently bearing fruit), and berry crops 9.2 hectares.
Weather conditions made irrigation unnecessary this year, and crop yields are high. To date, the harvest includes 34522 tons of grains and legumes; 14043 tons of rapeseed and sunflower; 50 tons of potatoes; 3221 tons of various vegetables; 345 tons of melons and gourds; 395 tons of fodder crops; 117.5 tons of stone fruits (sour cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, peaches, and plums); and 2650 tons of grapes. Harvesting is still underway for some crops. Today, the President visited a farm plot operated by entrepreneur Sergey Gadiyak. He was welcomed by three generations of the family. The farm was established 17 years ago and manages 106 hectares of land. Half is used for arable crops, while the other half is dedicated to perennial plantings, primarily fruit-bearing apple orchards, though there are also apricot trees, as well as newly planted sweet cherry and plum orchards. This year, they decided to diversify by adding pears, with plans to plant six hectares this autumn. They cultivate their own saplings. The apple and apricot orchards are situated on higher ground and protected from hail by netting. Modern cold storage facilities allow the produce to be kept fresh until May. An additional water supply line from the Dniester River was installed to reach the higher ground, and solar panels were set up to reduce the cost of operating the pumps.
Vadim Krasnoselsky inquired about sales markets. Previously, the farm sold its produce both within and outside the republic, but it now focuses on Pridnestrovian wholesalers, with a local cannery serving as the primary buyer. Vadim Krasnoselsky highlighted the importance of family-run businesses and wished the farm continued prosperity and growth.
The President and the head of the district addressed local improvement efforts, discussing infrastructure developments and needs. They visited Wittgenstein Park, where work is ongoing. The park of Kamenka is one of the largest in the republic; it is being renovated and modernized while preserving the historical layout established by Prince Wittgenstein. The reconstruction is being carried out under the state capital investment program.
