Volgograd region increased food production to 128.5 billion rubles

Volgograd food industry enterprises in January-September 2026 shipped their own products for 128.5 billion rubles. The range of products produced in the field includes both familiar food products and products with a high degree of processing. In particular, local enterprises are engaged in deep processing of grain, milk and oil seeds. Such products are in demand not only in Russia, but also abroad.

One of the factors in the development of the industry was the renewal of production capacities. The modernization of enterprises is carried out within the framework of the tasks previously outlined by Governor Andrei Bocharov. The region is expanding the areas of canning and drying vegetables, as well as freezing products, including using shock freezing technology.

In parallel with the growth of production of products, their storage capabilities increase. Since 2014, the corresponding capacity in the Volgograd region has tripled and in 2026 reached 457.5 thousand tons.

Infrastructure for the storage of grains and legumes is also being developed. Over the past 12 years, its capacity has increased by 3.8 million tons: if in 2014 it was 5 million tons, now it is much higher than this level. In the future, the indicator is planned to increase due to investment projects that are under implementation. Additional capacity is expected to appear before the end of 2026.

Positive dynamics in the food industry has been maintained for several years in a row. Thus, by the end of 2025, the enterprises of the region shipped their own food products worth 174.9 billion rubles. This is 11.9% more than a year earlier.
