Andrei Tarasenko has been acting governor since October 4, 2017, and sees it as his task to recover the production that was lost in the region, and to boost the existing industries – primarily, the sea port facilities. Agriculture, specifically, crop husbandry and livestock breeding, is developing in the region.
The Acting Governor also pointed out certain problems in the region, particularly, the distribution of quotas on fish and crab fishing as well as the shortage of doctors and teachers. According to Tarasenko, the region needs support in training professionals for Primorye, including in universities based in other Russian regions.
