     Chapter 3. GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND

     NATURAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL

     3.1. Terrain

     The terrain of Crimean Peninsula consists of three unequal parts:

     ❑ The North Crimean Plain with the Tarkhankutskaya Upland (about 70% of the territory), the Kerch Peninsula, and the mountainous Crimea extending with three ridges to the south.

     ❑ Plain Crimea is located on the platform structure (Scythian platform) and is characterized by relative geological stability and accessibility for economic use. The plains occupy 78% of the peninsula. The plains of the Northern Crimea are mostly lowlands, with heights up to 30 m. The most favorable for agriculture are the plains of the central part of Crimea, as well as the Tarkhankuta and Kerch Peninsulas (up to 90% is occupied with agricultural land).

     ❑ Mountainous Crimea (22% of the territory) is a part of the Alpine folded area and is characterized by increased tectonic activity. The Crimean Peninsula is washed by the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

     7.

     

     

     3.2. Climate

     Crimea occupies a borderline position between temperate and subtropical geographic zones, which is favorable for the mild climate of the peninsula and the large number of hours of sunshine (2,180-2,470 hours per year). The climate is mild, close to the Mediterranean one, a climate characterized by an abundance of sun, heat and light.

      Source: http://luko-more.com/stati/klimat-v-kryimu.html 8.

     

     

     

     The warm sub-Mediterranean climate determines the seasonal characteristics of the climate. The cold season is characterized by frequent thaws, which lead to temperature changes and a decrease in snow cover. If for the coastal areas every warming is a pleasant surprise, for the mountain areas it is a serious problem associated with avalanches.

     Spring in the Crimea is of early character, getting warmer in the second half of February, and it does not last long. Nature's awakening is characterized by increasing temperatures during the day and frosts at night. Plants with early flowering dates do not tolerate such fluctuations.

     Summers on the peninsula are hot, with light, pleasant breezes.

     Plants that have endured spring frosts get enough solar energy to give a rich harvest for 5 months. The main thing is to take care of additional watering, as the peninsula is not blessed with precipitation during this period.

     Mid-November is the beginning of autumn on the peninsula. Despite the change in weather, this less hot period with rare rains is cherished by fans of outdoor activities.

     Vacationers recommend hiking tours of coastal areas, exploring unique places and monuments.

     9.

     

     

     3.3. Hydrology and Natural Protected Areas On the territory of Republic of Crimea there are more than 1,657

     rivers and streams with the total length of about 6,000 km; 1,842

     ponds, as well as 315 lakes, including 50 salt lakes, in 35 of which the presence of therapeutic mud (Sakskoe, Bakalskoe, Sasyk-Sivash, Kizil-Yar, Chokrakskoe) is registered.

     There are 22 reservoirs constructed in the republic, with the total volume of 334.2 million cubic meters, including 14 reservoirs of natural flow and 8 inflowing reservoirs.

     3.4. Mineral Deposits

     Republic of Crimea occupies one of the leading places in the Russian Federation in terms of mineral wealth. The balance of reserves of the Republic of Crimea on the territory of the peninsula is certified with 183 deposits of 21 types of minerals.

     In the structure of the material and raw material potential of the Republic, deposits of raw materials for production of construction materials prevail - 113 or 61.7% of the total amount.

     Fossils of fuel-energy complex - 34 deposits (18,6%), waters: potable and technical, mineral and thermal - 17 deposits (9,3%), metallurgical raw materials - 11 deposits (6,1%), mining-chemical raw materials - 3 deposits (1,6%) and deposits of other raw materials - 5, or 2,7%. The region is characterized by uneven location of mineral deposits. That is explained by the spatial distribution of productive structural-formation and structural-material geological complexes, in which they were formed. The highest saturation of minerals, except fresh groundwater, is characteristic of Sakski and Leninsky regions - 49 deposits in each region.

     4.3. Agribusiness

     Crimean Peninsula has unique conditions for development of agriculture.

     Agroclimatic resources of the region allow for growing of many temperate and subtropical crops. The sum of active temperatures in the flat Crimea is 3,300-3,600®C, on the Southern coast of Crimea exceeds 4,000®C. The frost-free period lasts for 170-200 days on the plain part of the peninsula and 240-270 days on the Southern Coast of Crimea.

     The total area of agricultural land is 1.7 million hectares, including arable land - 1.3 million hectares Development of horticulture, viticulture, cultivation of essential oil crops (lavender, rose, sage) are the priorities. Given the specialization of the Crimea as a resort region, serious attention to viticulture is paid -

     increasing the proportion of table varieties in the structure of vineyards up to 25% of the total amount of plants; in horticulture - providing production of fruit with different terms of maturity of fruits, as well as taking into account their deposit for long term storage 18.

     19.

     

     

     

     In terms of location of production areas on the peninsula, it can be noted that in the steppe areas (Dzhankoy, Pervomaisky, Krasnogvardeisky) are mainly cultivating grain crops, closer to the central part of the peninsula (Saki and Simferopol district) in addition to grain crops grow technical crops, Bakhchisaraysky district - growing fruits and berries, in the south of the peninsula (in its mountainous part) grow different varieties of grapes.

     Production of agricultural products is carried out by enterprises registered in the following legal forms: agricultural organizations, household farms, peasant (farmer) households and individual entrepreneurs.

     20.

     

     

     In 2020 the Crimean agricultural products were exported to 12

     countries of the world. The largest share is exported to Ukraine (Donbass and Lugansk Republics) - the value of exported products is 8 million USD (61% of the total) and China - 3.3

     million USD (25% of exports). Smaller amounts of products were supplied to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Abkhazia, Armenia, Turkey, Tajikistan, Serbia and Israel. The "leaders" of exports: poultry, strong alcoholic beverages and grape wines.

     21.

     

     

     

     

     4.4. Sanatorium and Resort Industry Crimea's health resort complex is based on the use of mineral waters, therapeutic muds, climatic and landscape resources.

     There are 26 deposits of therapeutic mud and brine, over 100

     sources of mineral waters of various chemical composition on the territory of the Republic. There are 767 accommodation facilities (hotels and similar accommodation entities; specialized accommodation facilities) on the territory of Republic of Crimea with total capacity of 156,500 beds.

     22.

     

     

     The sanatorium and resort industry of Crimea includes:

     ❑ Sanatoriums (destination spa with medical services) for adults,

     ❑ Boarding houses with treatment;

     ❑ Children's sanatoriums;

     ❑ Sanatoriums for children with parents;

     ❑ Sanatorium health camps;

     ❑ Sanatorium-preventoriums;

     ❑ Health resort polyclinics

     ❑ Balneological and mud baths.

     Sanatoriums and boarding houses with treatment are located mainly in the south of Crimea, as well as in the resorts of Yevpatoria, Saki, Feodosia.

     23.

     

     

     Almost all sanatoriums and health resorts are designed for year-round operations. Among all types of sanatoriums and resorts the largest share of year-round operational institutions is among sanatoriums for adults, sanatoriums for children with parents and sanatorium health camps. The year-round demand is higher in sanatoriums, which use methods of treatment of nonspecific diseases of the respiratory organs, central nervous system, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular diseases.

     The most preferred resort regions for recreationists are the Southern coast of Crimea - 49%, equally attractive - Eastern - 22%

     and the West Coast - 22%. .

     24.

     

     

     

     4.5. Energy

     In 2020, electricity production on the peninsula amounted to 6,493 million kWh, or 82% of total consumption (7,920

     million kWh). The power deficit was covered by the power system of the Krasnodar Territory 25.

     4.6. Manufacturing Industry

     Manufacturing Industry of the Peninsula is the basis that forms the commodity production in Republic of Crimea.

     In industrial production of the Republic there are more than 2,000

     enterprises of all forms of ownership and departmental subordination, including statistically small enterprises and physical persons -

     entrepreneurs who use the labor of employees in the sphere of industrial production.

     The Basic Structure of Industry is as Follows:

     ❑ Production of food products, beverages and tobacco products - the share in the total volume of industrial production is 31.0%;

     ❑ Supply of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning - 30.5%.

     ❑ Production of chemicals and chemical products - 13.8%;

     ❑ Machine building - 8,7%;mining and quarrying - 9,9%;

     ❑ Manufacture of rubber and plastic products, other non-metallic mineral products - 4,0%;

     ❑ Metallurgical production, production of finished metal products -

     1.3%.

     27.

     

     

     The mining industry is the extraction of fuel and energy and non-energy minerals. Development of the extractive industry of the Republic of Crimea is affected by both extensive factors (commissioning of new wells at the fields) and intensive ones (completion of the existing ones, capital construction of the fields). On the territory of the peninsula and adjacent areas 43 hydrocarbon fields are identified, of which 3 are gas fields and 3

     are gas condensate fields that belong to the medium class of mineral resources, and the rest - to the small class of mineral resources.

     Nevertheless, 61.0% of all natural gas reserves and 84.1% of condensate reserves are concentrated in 6 medium-sized fields. According to experts, these reserves amount to about 1.6 billion tons of fuel equivalent or 1.5

     trillion cubic meters in gas equivalent. One third of bottom oil, gas condensate and natural gas reserves are in shallow waters .

     28.

     

     

     Production of construction materials In Republic of Crimea there are more than 200 enterprises of construction materials industry. The main product groups are non-metallic building materials, cement, ready-mix concrete, reinforced concrete products and constructions; ceramic bricks.

     Enterprises in this sector are located in the Republic, according to the principle of proximity to the sources of raw materials. Crimea has a rich and diverse raw materials for building materials industry; the main ones are sawdust limestone, cement raw materials, chalk, gypsum, clay, sandstone, glass sand. Locations of quarries for construction materials in the Crimea is everywhere, but their combination varies by territory.

     According to this notion the following mineral resource areas are allocated:

     ❑ Plain-Crimean Area with the production of shell stone;

     ❑ Mountain-Crimean Area with the production of wall saw blocks, cement raw materials, crushed stone, brick clay and sand;

     ❑ Kerch Area - producing saw-timbered limestone, brick clays, expanded clay, gypsum stone, glass sands 29.

     

     

     Food industry is a powerful industrial sector of agro-industrial complex, which is one of the strategic directions in ensuring food security of the region. In addition, the food industry is not only the final link in the processing of agricultural products, but also the organizer and integrator of the effective functioning of the entire food complex.

     More than 100 industrial enterprises specializing in the production of meat products, sausage products, dairy products, cheese, butter, canned goods, confectionery products, cereals and flour, liquor and vodka products, bread and bakery products, mineral water and soft drinks, tobacco products and others are concentrated in the industry.

     30.

     

     A significant specific weight (11.7%) in the composition of industry of Republic of Crimea is mechanical engineering and shipbuilding.

     At the moment one of the distinctive features of mechanical engineering in Crimea is a small share of sales of its products in the areas of production. Finished products from 80 to 100% of subject specialization are sent outside the region.

     Machine-building complex of Crimea comprises a system of

     scientific research and design-technological enterprises, the number of which is 317 enterprises (2017).

     Production of construction materials and products. Cement, reinforced concrete products and wall materials are the basic industries of building materials in the Republic. The Republic of Crimea has 42 enterprises in these areas, of which 13 are the leading ones.

     Consumer Goods Industry is one with a fast turnover of capital, but the crisis phenomena of recent years have put the industry on the verge of survival. By the end of 2014, the share of light industry in the total volume of production in the republic was less than 0.5%, for comparison, in 1990 it was 7%. Medium and small producers specialize in sewing of bed-linen, men's suits, children's clothing, school uniforms, and work clothes.

     31.

     

     

     Winemaking Industry

     The share of winemaking in the structure of the food industry is about 44%. The production potential of the winemaking industry: 25 winemaking enterprises operate in Crimea. Their capacities are capable to process up to 279 thousand tons of grapes per year, pour 53,7 million dal of wine products and keep 36,5 million dal on aging at one time.

     The volume of harvest in 2020 compared to 2019 is almost unchanged, a total of 99.43 thousand tons of grapes harvested in the Crimea, including 7.84 thousand tons of grapes of table varieties. This is 30.5% more than the average number for 2014-2019. The yield was 63.3 hundred kilograms per hectare.
