Altai Krai has served as an agricultural heartland within southern Siberia since the early twentieth century. Its wide territory spans the Kulunda Plain, forest-steppe country and the northern foothills of the Altai Mountains, where landscapes become more varied toward the southeast. The Ob River is a defining waterway, flowing through the regional capital, Barnaul. Grain cultivation and livestock farming remain central to the local economy.
