Among the under-exploited economic potentials of the city, the following are notable:

• A number of big mineral deposits are located near the city such as kaolin clay to produce ceramic items, basalt raw materials to produce superthin basalt fiber, highly fireproof clay to produce drain pipes, tiles, cement, slates, as well as loess soils to produce bricks, gypsum, etc. Some of the mined raw materials are currently processed at construction industry enterprises listed above. There are major resources of brown coal as well.
• The sort of aromatic tobacco, ?Dubek?, which is grown in our region only, is used as an additive in cigarette production. Tobacco factories of Moscow, Armavir and companies of Great Britain and the USA are the potential consumers of this tobacco.
