In its
development, the Penza region relies on the medical industry and creation of
products for health: pharmaceutical goods, biologically active additives,
natural cosmetics. At the RUSSIA EXPO, the region is presenting Bashkir

various hybrids and is included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements.
Although
the birthplace of red-stemmed buckwheat is the Urals region, it is successfully
cultivated in the Middle Volga region, which includes the Penza region. Here
this unpretentious plant has been cultivated since 2012 and is used as a
medicinal raw material. At the moment, red-stemmed buckwheat is cultivated on
an industrial scale on 7 hectares of fields located near the villages of
Kulyasovo and Mamadysh in the Kameshkirsky district.
