11:19 am
this week we travel to the tomsk region in western siberia it's not only rich with oil and gas but also for the variety of natural treasures growing in the wild lush forests are an abundant natural resource for the region and a priceless recreational area for the residents aren't cesar found herself in the heart of the siberian wilderness. the time squeeze in southwestern siberia has long been known to be rich in oil and gas and the local economy has been linked with oil and gas and other 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 can just go to the forests and go gather that themselves and the
11:20 am
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 toms it has over a million hectares of agricultural land and more than half the territory is covered with poorest. people in their collective. families. young people. can collect for your own consumption or you can sell them at a good price and there are people who leave all 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. is the first stage with her sister 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
11:21 am
a wide variety of berries are there for the picking almost ninety percent of what's baked is processed here the death of our company processes wild berries we store frozen berries in industrial 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 spears slinks and sables in winter he can hunt moves but chasing them and skis 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. when we 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
11:22 am
a 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 that 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 in talks. festival in terms of sport because half of the people in the season when and seize on these. 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
11:23 am
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 vost 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 can all 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 it also depends on the harvest so we are very much interested in that. i guess i can say we welcome investment all right well thank you very much for that they're well all right so the a collection and the process to go while growing natural products is a developing sector industry as a drain. had rightly said and when you just go into the forest and go to the
11:24 am
villages what you can really see is the involvement of the people that go out there and collected themselves i guess right now and 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. also used to sausalito reporting that now it's time for you to. hello and welcome time to get the latest from the world of business ukraine is rapidly regaining the trust of international finance agencies says the i.m.f. how whether and i.m.f. commission which is the sitting the country is still to make a decision on giving its second tranche of a fifteen billion dollars loan. resuscitating and i economy this was a victory on the court which is 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
11:25 am
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 critical point to me has successfully passed to the crisis the cheap gas price from russia. to the gas price i mean this to mr. crean. price which will be a little bit. too. close which is one of the last in europe but despite the positive trend ski of still seems to be relying on the fifteen billion dollar loan from the international monetary fund borrowed two years ago by the previous administration under viktor yushchenko the funds delegation has a right to key of to assess whether the new government is fulfilling the loans obligations some of which are deeply unpopular among the people doing nation see
11:26 am
some progress compared to the. in two thousand and eight in two thousand crean finally has significantly raised the prices for. plus fifty percent which was very negative for the political. ridge and president did it another sticking point is spent in reform namely raising the british an 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 it probably needs money to be. russian. than. that so the government doesn't much from the i.m.f. but who could not on my knees important by the signal government is doing rise
11:27 am
since the loan is split in several tranches and should this one go ahead it will become the second part of the loan and will amount to a little over one billion u.s. 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. steve for business today from key of ukraine the school cover innovation project has drawn attention to the large number of russian high tech companies already in existence and the head of the investment company are months capitals could help create many more. to this first project russia tried to unwalled a lot of western experience and even any projects which will be launching the
