Economy

Khabarovsk Territory is the most industrialized territory of the Far East of Russia, producing 30% of the total industrial products in the Far Eastern Economic Region. The machine construction industry consists primarily of a highly developed military-industrial complex of large scale aircraft and ship building enterprises.

Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association is one among territorial most successful enterprises, and for years has been the largest taxpayer.

Other major industries include timberworking and fishing, along with metallurgy in main cities, although the territorial own mineral resources are poorly developed. Komsomolsk-on-Amur is the iron and steel center of the Far East; a pipeline from northern Sakhalin supplies the petroleum-refining industry in Khabarovsk.

In the Amur basin, there is also some cultivation of wheat and soybeans. The capital city, Khabarovsk, is at the junction of the Amur River and the Trans-Siberian railway, so it is the largest transport hub in the Far East.
