The Russian Far East has adopted many policies for development, but why is it still unable to develop?

The Russian Far East has adopted many policies for development, but why it still cannot develop. Today, the editor will discuss it with you. Let us take a look at it together.

In terms of geographical location, a simple comparison with the western United States is that the western United States is also a temperate zone. In the Russian Far East, temperatures are relatively low and permafrost is severe in most places. The harsh climate of the Far East is not suitable for human habitation, but the west coast of the United States is suitable for human habitation. With its superior geographical environment, the western United States can be developed and successfully attract a large number of high-tech companies to settle there. For example, there are many well-known companies in Silicon Valley, which cannot be compared with the Russian Far East. In addition, California has the right amount of precipitation to grow more fruits and vegetables and raise a variety of livestock, which is unmatched in the Far East.

The land use value in the Far East is much lower than in Europe. Due to the long winter and harsh natural conditions in the Far East, although the Far East accounts for about 35% of Russia's total area, its cultivated land area is less than 10% of Russia's. In addition, there is also a large amount of black land scattered in the European region of Russia (Ukraine is called the breadbasket of Europe, which is a testament to the fertility of this land). It remains the only subtropical region on Russia's Black Sea coast, with the famous Volga alluvial delta in the northwest of the Caspian Sea. With so much fertile land, Russia isn't really going to make the most of the land in the Far East. I think it is very reasonable to use the Far East as a reserve farmland.

Secondly, among these immigrants, they have not yet stabilized, and too few have settled in the Far East. Therefore, population movement in the Far East is relatively frequent. Poor infrastructure and poor conditions in the Far East make retaining these people difficult. Although the Soviet Union had various subsidies, it was still difficult to retain people's hearts. They worked for a few years and then left, returning to Europe. Under the Soviet planned economy, forced immigration was implemented in the Far East. The purpose is to develop energy in the Far East and develop heavy industry and military industry. There are many immigrants here. They did not come here of their own free will, but were ultimately called here by their country, but their hearts were in Europe.

Transportation in the Far East is very backward. There are only 13 kilometers of railway lines and 61 kilometers of highway lines per 10,000 square kilometers of land. The density of the transportation network is the lowest in Russia. Among them, there are no railways in the Kamchatka border area, Madan California region and Chukotka Autonomous Region. As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, build roads first.". Transportation is backward, agricultural products are difficult to transport out, and foreign materials are difficult to transport in. In the long run, the vicious cycle leads to lagging agricultural development and a large amount of high-quality land being abandoned.
