related industries for quite some time but the local economy has a new growing and developing sector and that involves the collection the gathering of the processing of wild growing natural products such as berries mushrooms and pine nuts there are some companies that do invest in the processing of these products and was very interesting here is that this is really growing in the wild so people here could just go to the forests and go gather that themselves and the results they get of course depends on how much they gather i am in the heart of what really is the perfect example of that lush greenery of that rich forestry that make up such an abundant natural resource for the top it has over a million hectares of agricultural land and more than half the territory is covered with forest. for people winter collecting pine cones in the forest families come with children with young people doing a lot you can collect for your own consumption or you can sell them at a good price there are people who live off this business. it's estimated that

picking and processing different kinds of wild produce provides an income for as many as one hundred fifty thousand local inhabitants those who gather can sell them to companies that process them like this one. this is the first stage of what prices you can find reasons to get all kinds of gathered a special stations where people bring them there is a huge potential here which needs to be realised pine cones wild mushrooms and a wide variety of berries are there for the picking almost ninety percent of what's picked is processed here the death of our company processes wild berries we store frozen berries industrial fruits facilities and process them into different kinds of jams. from a taste of the sweet fruits of the wild to taste of the rough side of the siberian wilderness. we patrol the surrounding forests the folly here is quite diverse you can spot spares slinks and sables in winter you can hunt. as for bears they can

only be hunted in their dance in winter the rangers spend a month at a time in the thick of the forest and in order to survive while they're there hunting for food has become part of their daily routine. no bears this time but there was certainly no shortage of birds. would come in urban people are just not suited to all this it takes no one in the most habits in being a good child to be successful hunter well i'm no good at either of those so i tried my hand at fishing instead it didn't take us very long to experience the extreme conditions the siberian wilderness throws your way but if you know how to work with nature and to work hard at your survival you'll find that it has plenty to offer so now let's talk a bit more about this industry with andre who is joining us right now thank you very much for joining us now you just tell us a bit more about this industry and tongs. festival in tomsk it's

a sport because half of the people in the city when the season is they go collecting berries or mushrooms i personally hate collecting berries but collecting mushrooms is a lot of fun the forest is right and it's not very far to go so you just go there and collect whatever you find it's yours the forest is for everybody this stuff doesn't grow where you want it to it grows where it wants to so you must find it and bring it and then of course there is an industry which does it for money only four percent of what grows is actually collected so there's a vaastu area for the industry to grow you know to what extent do you think it's going to grow we can speak about millions of dollars we cannot speak about hundreds of millions of dollars it will never be the primary industry or even close to that but it may be very. substantial over industry. this time i think it grows but don't forget that though also depends on the harvest so we have very much

interested in that and i guess i can say we welcome investment all right well thank you very much for that there will arrive so the a collection and the process a go while. growing natural products is a developing sector or industry as a drain had rightly said and of what you just go into the forest and go to the villages what you can really see is the involvement of the people that go out there and collected themselves i guess right now that is what's most interesting about this sector and to where it's going to be going in the future will again depend on nature. that's our affiliate reporting there coming up next hour this week's moscow out looks at russian bread baking and brewery of the traditional drink class and tasting ensues. well it would be rude to try some. of the out the now

for the red card i'm from there is designed to protect you later when it comes to right here in russia good morning i'm seeing protests apart from the. time now for a business update with don't go away. hello and a very warm welcome to the business news ukraine is rapidly regaining of the trust of international finance agencies says the i.m.f. whole weather and i.m.f. commission which is visiting the country is still to make a decision on giving its second tranche of a fifteen billion dollar loan alexina he has more. resuscitating

economy this was viktor yanukovych his main priority when he became ukraine's president less than a year on experts say this goal has been somewhat successful in twenty jan the country has seen a six percent growth in g.d.p. compared with the disastrous decline last year and this came partially due to less spending on imported natural resources the economy. successfully to the crisis the cheap gas price from russia. to the gas price i minister mr. price which will be a little bit. to. europe but despite the positive trends key of still seems to be relying on the fifteen billion dollar loan from the international monetary fund borrow two years ago by the previous administration under viktor yushchenko the funds delegation has

a right to kiev to assess whether the new government is fulfilling the loans obligations some of which are deeply unpopular among the people i met delineations see some progress. in two thousand and eight in two thousand crane finally has significantly raised the prices for poor households plus fifty percent which was very negative for the. region and the president did another sticking point is spent in reform namely raising the pension age which is required by the i.m.f. but not favored by the general population but is it all worth the effort economists believe that ukraine does not require more funding badly enough and the whole force is more about the country's image problem.

russian. bank so but apart from that the government doesn't much from the i.m.f. but for ukraine not on the i.m.f. monny is important by the signal as a government is doing right since the loan is split in several crunchers and should this one go ahead it will become the second part of the loan and will amount to a little over one billion us dollars the delegation says it will reveal its verdict no earlier than november the fifteenth experts have little doubt that this time the i.m.f. delegation will say yes to another tragedy of money for ukraine the question is whether they will be as optimistic the next time inspectors come to kiev in february twenty seventh alexey russia for business today from key of ukraine the school about innovation project has drawn attention to the large number of russian high tech company already in existence and the head of investment company

our capital school cover could help create many more. but this first project for russia tried to unwalled a lot of western experience and even any projects which will be launched in school need to have but this appearance of foreign spectate it is very important since we need to long a lot in russia from some idea how to build commercial product and more important business how do you stop government ministers interfering in skolkovo you know idea is that today state is not done and. war doesn't sell any man to officials horton self it is all business from the western side and from russian side from other side to exist also scientific war which is also person by scientists. bureaucrats from this point of view just given money when will skulk of a become world class depends not from time but it's a little be built it depends how fast will start to be

a child's school foss mutual to wall between universities and between this and there will be false level of success it depends how many major schools will have stuff to say i'm building here in such and developing facilities but i am ready to start this research and development corporation right now how fast we will seize a star stops which will be reduced or at the school was all their benefits and several shows out there nama girls when russia silicon valley creates a famous company like google or intel i believe that russia already have some company russia because young that see companies like parallels like micronesians. companies even named different industries which are also not an investor like dell least of which produce chips which a small class company and more importantly feel they can say google computer is young it's young this marketplace. young because brandon says possibilities outside
