Representatives of federal and regional government agencies, experts, and development institutions discussed the implementation of the “Hectare” program, the provision of land plots (or monetary compensation) to large families and veterans of the SMO, and increasing the investment attractiveness of land in priority development areas.
The “Hectare” program is being implemented in 11 regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and 8 regions of the Arctic. People are acquiring land for farming, entrepreneurship, and housing construction. Yulia Tishchenko, Director of the Far Eastern Development Committee's Hectare Program Implementation Department, presented the program's statistics and innovations:
"Currently, more than 165,000 citizens have already taken up 'hectares.' Interest in participating in the program is steadily growing—in the first 10 months of 2025, we received as many applications as in the entire previous year. We expect that by the end of the year, the number of recipients will increase by 20% compared to the previous year."
