Nadezhdinsky District, Primorsky Krai

|
Nadezhdinsky District occupies the southern coast of Primorsky Krai, Russia. Its center is Volno-Nadezhdinskoe. The Razdolnaya River crosses the territory of the District. District's population is 43,000 people.
The favorable climatic conditions and close location to the Krai center predetermined the District's specialization. There are seven agricultural enterprises which provide Vladivostok with meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, and potatoes. Mink, foxes, polecats, and deer are bred in the District.
For more than a hundred years the brown coal deposits have been exploited in the territory of the District (Tavrichanskoye Deposit), and the construction sand in the Razdolnaya River Valley has been the raw material for silicate brick production. The Razdolnensky Construction Materials Plant, which is one of the District's largest enterprises, is involved in the production of bricks. There are deposits of porous basalt which is the raw material for the enterprise of Finnish construction, the Terekhovsky Concrete Production Plant. Not far from Kiparisovo Railway Station are beds of sandstone which is the quartz containing raw materials for glass industry. A few years ago the Primorsky Krai's largest glassworks was constructed here and its production has been consumed beyond the Krai's bounds.
Despite the high density of the population, close location to the large city and the developed road network, Nadezhdinsky District boasts the unique nature attractions such as the 40 hectare yew (Taxus cuspidata) grove, and Korean pine forests.
