Agricultural Workers’ Day in Russia is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of October. The governor of Krasnodar Krai congratulated them on their professional holiday on October 12.

In his congratulatory message, the head of the region emphasized that the agro-industrial complex is one of the key sectors of Kuban’s economy, which is considered the breadbasket of Russia and the guarantor of its food security. According to the governor, the region maintains this status thanks to the labor of grain growers, machine operators, livestock breeders, breeding scientists, and processing specialists.

The governor also noted that 2025 was a challenging year for agriculture, but despite the difficult conditions, a worthy grain harvest was gathered in the region, and leadership in drinking milk production was maintained.

Currently, Kuban also produces over 4,000 product varieties, a quarter of Russia’s sugar, half of its champagne and wines, as well as a wide range of dairy and meat products and confectionery.

“I am grateful to the industry workers for their daily labor, high results, dedication, and commitment to their chosen field. I wish everyone good health, success, and prosperity!”
