Capacity of the municipalities

 The area is very short of an Ethno tourist route dedicated to the Chuvash culture! It will be quite easy to create and fill it with interesting, cognitive artifacts and events - in the villages of Aksubayevsky District there live many bearers of Chuvash traditions. The district administration has already come up with a special project - an Ethno tour to six villages “Sacred Dubrava”, where tourists will be able to get acquainted with the pagan culture of Chuvash, visit places of worship of ancient deities, try national dishes... In the meantime, the project is waiting for investors -visionary and in love with the national culture.

How to pick mushrooms properly 

 Wolves and foxes, hares and squirrels, elks and wild boars, lynx and martens, grouse and grouse... Typical inhabitants of Aksubayev's forests are like living illustrations to the books by Mikhail Prishvin and Vitaly Bianka. The forest here is rich and picturesque. One of the axial enterprises of the district is Aksubaevsky forestry, skillfully uses its gifts, annually supplying 10 thousand cubic meters of wood to Yelabuga woodworking plant, not forgetting to protect, restore and replenish forest resources.

 Aksubayevsky forest and city mushrooms are loved, they collect full baskets of first-class white and red carrots. But this is only in autumn. Therefore, a local businessman Anatoly Samarenkin decided to “earn on mushrooms” in another way - he set up a farm for growing oysters. He chose for his farm the old abandoned warehouses in the village of Staroye Mokshino, repaired, conducted communications, brought mushroom substrate and the basis for cultivation - straw and sunflower husks, and soon began to receive 2 tons of oyster mushroom per month. It turned out that they sell well not only fresh (gourmets believe that they taste better than mushrooms, and cooks use them instead of white mushrooms). Food producers eagerly buy dried oysters, using them as an additive for sauces and spices. That is why Samarenkin has purchased special equipment for drying mushrooms and sells half of the products in the dry form. In two years, the mushroom business has seriously grown: now the farmer is building new buildings for workshops and preparing to harvest 20 tons. The district administration of the farmer is actively bringing in because together with mushrooms the entrepreneurial image of Aksubaevo grows. Here they are ready to support any, even the most modest business, especially new products, and even more so - in agriculture. The neighborhood is agrarian.

 How to “collect cream”11 from Aksubaevo land

 Like many other districts in Tatarstan, Aksubayevsky district prefers to focus on dairy farming. Both large agro- firms and small family farms are engaged in it. Yearly milk yield in the district grows, and local milk is a special one it is from this that first-class butter is obtained.

 During the Soviet Union, Aksubayev's butter was especially appreciated in the army. As the best - high quality and fatty, it was supplied to the Soviet military units of the socialist camp countries, and also sent to stores in the far, northern regions of the country - where high-calorie products are especially needed. The residents were proud of it and rightly believed that a piece of butter produced by the Aksubayevsky dairy plant was the best күчтәнәч* (kuchtenech) in any situation.

 Local authorities believe that other investors may follow the example of Volga-Selekt because the conditions for the launch of new agricultural production in the district are the most favorable: good soil, good ecology, and good people who can earn their living on bread. With butter, of course.

*Күчтәнәч (kuchtenech) - translated from Tatar "hotel", that is, a gift that is brought to the guests.

 4 ideas for business in Aksubayevsky District:

 1 Processing of wood waste. 22% of the district's territory is covered with forests, but this is mostly low-grade wood. There are several production directions related to the processing of low-grade wood and its waste. Here are just a few options:

• Production of cement wood, the so-called wood brick that is used in low-rise construction and as insulation.

•  Fertilisers are produced by composting wood waste.

•  Production of charcoal. It is used in chemical and metallurgical industries as an insulating material in construction, and in agriculture as a feed additive for livestock and poultry.

•  Production of fuel briquettes, pellets, and "firewood".

2.  Production of bottled spring water. There are four dozen springs in the area; the water is rich in minerals and suitable for drinking. Pure drinking water under the Ak-Su brand may become a trademark of the district.

3.  Packaging and sale of honey and beekeeping products under a single brand. There are a lot of experienced beekeepers in the district who have been doing this business for decades. All of them sell their products independently and sometimes with great difficulty. It is possible to create and promote a single brand of Aksubayevsky Honey on the market.

4.  Organizing mini-hotels and guest houses. Ethno tourism development in Aksubayevsky District is directly linked to the development of hospitality infrastructure. Hostels and small hotels of different price categories will be in great demand.
