Economy of the southern part is concentrated basically on agriculture, however, lately petroleum is extracted here too.

Economic potential of the region makes up interrelation of economics of three units, petroleum, gas, agriculture and mechanical engineering. Mutually beneficial co-operation in development of processing enterprises and enterprises on manufacture of agricultural products is envisaged between districts and the south of Tyumen region.

The contribution of Tyumen manufacturers to overall volume of output of the country has made 9,6 %. Production amounting to 476,4 billion roubles is manufactured for 9 months of 2002 by enterprises. Mechanical engineering, petrochemistry, oil processing steadily works. There is an active development of the Uvat fields. Pipeline transport is developed well, however lately it became a source of numerous failures caused by deterioration of many pipelines and equipment of pump stations with heavy ecological consequences. At present thousands of kilometers of new highways and hundreds of bridges reliably connect the most remote settlements. 36 km of main oil pipelines and 107 km of gas pipelines, 157 km of coated highways, 3 bridges of 188 running metres long are commissioned during the period from January till September, 2002. The region has kept the status of economically stable region and holds one of the leading positions in the country on volumes of timber cutting and sawing, introduction of modern technologies.
