"Building Zabaykalsky Krai": From Discussions to New Opportunities for the Region

The first "Building Zabaykalsky Krai" construction and industrial forum has concluded in Chita. Over two days, representatives from the construction industry, manufacturers, and government authorities discussed ways to develop local business, strengthen cooperation, and establish new production facilities in the region. The Zabaykalsky Krai Development Corporation and the Territorial Development Agency presented the "StroyProm" industrial park at the forum—a site where entrepreneurs can set up production facilities and utilize ready-made infrastructure.

A key topic at the forum was how to increase the production of construction materials within Zabaykalsky Krai. Currently, some products must be brought in from other regions. Developing local manufacturing could help change this situation, noted Zhargalma Badmazhapova, the region's Minister of Economic Development, during a roundtable discussion on cooperation and new opportunities in the construction sector:

"To develop the construction industry, it is essential to create favorable conditions for local manufacturers. That is precisely why the 'StroyProm' industrial park project is being implemented in Chita; it will allow entrepreneurs to locate their production facilities there and take advantage of ready-made infrastructure and support measures."

The park will make it possible to concentrate the production of construction materials and foster the growth of regional enterprises.

"The site will allow for the concentration of construction material production within Zabaykalsky Krai, which, in the long run, will help reduce production costs and logistics expenses for entrepreneurs," said Denis Strygin, head of the Zabaykalsky Krai Development Corporation, in an interview with RTK Zabaykalye.

Meanwhile, the construction industry is showing growth. In 2026, the volume of construction work performed reached 47.6 billion rubles—an increase of 8 billion rubles compared to 2025. Additionally, the production of ready-mix concrete more than doubled over the year, reaching 61,000 cubic meters. The forum served as a platform not only for discussion but also for taking concrete steps forward. Representatives from Chinese construction companies based in Jiangsu Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region visited StroyProm. They toured the site and assessed opportunities for establishing production facilities there.

Following the forum, the "Stroim Zabaykalye" (Building Zabaykalsky Krai) Association of Regional Builders and Manufacturers was established, and cooperation agreements were signed between the regional government, construction companies, and educational institutions.
