Investment Potential

Mozdokskiy district has a developed infrastructure, road and transport network, modern communication and power systems.
The investment potential of Mozdokskiy district is primarily associated with the development of traditional agricultural production and processing of agricultural products.
The investors are encouraged to use arable lands recovering the irrigation potential, which allows covering 15 thousand hectares of land with the irrigation system and increase crop yields to 40-60 t/ha. Investment costs of rehabilitation of the irrigation system amount to 125 million rubles.
Product pipelines connecting oilfields with the Centre and the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk pass through the territory of Mozdokskiy district, therefore it is possible to build refineries here.
A promising direction in Mozdokskiy district is the development of hydrocarbon deposits. Kharbizhenskiy oil field with the promising reserves of 4.6 million tons and expected annual production of 26 thousand tons is located in the territory of Mozdokskiy district. Putting at least one oil-well into operation requires 185 million rubles of investment capital.
Construction of Mozdokskiy small hydropower plant on the 21st km of Terek-Kuma channel with the design capacity of 7.5 MW and average annual electricity output 25 million kWh is an attractive project in terms of investment. Investment costs are estimated at 210 million rubles.
Another highly effective project is the reconstruction of the district boiling house of Mozdok into a mini steam-electric plant with the capacity of 2.5 mW of electric power and 30 Gcal of heat power. This will cost 60 million rubles.
Promising investment sites are unused facilities and premises of production enterprises in the district, such as: JSC “Mozdok Garment Factory”, the Factory of Concrete Pressure Pipe in stanitsa Pavlodolskaya and others.
Development of the field of Razdolnoe natural mineral water deposit having healing and balneological properties is cost-effective.
