TOMSK, Feb 7 – RIA Tomsk. The "Siberian Agrarian Group" in 2019 will invest about 700 million rubles in facilities at the "Tomskiy" pig farm and the "Tomskaya" poultry farm, the chairman of the board of directors of the holding Andrey Tyutyushev told journalists; he clarified that the holding’s investment program for the current year could be about 2.5 billion rubles.
According to him, at the "Tomskiy" pig farm will be improved the production of animal feed on its territory, which was launched last year, and will be built additional capacity to increase the volume of pork production.
"The total investment in the pig complex will be about half a billion rubles. The investment project will also be implemented at the "Tomskaya" poultry farm, where construction of its own feed mill worth about 200 million will begin", - Tyutyushev said.
In general, the holding volume of investments will be about 2.5 billion rubles.
“We also plan to build new feedlots at the pig complex in Buryatia. Last year we built them on our Ural pig complex, thanks to this, in 2019 the holding will be able to reach a cumulative production of 160 thousand tons of pork (per year, from the current 152 thousand)”, - Tyutyushev reported.
“In Krasnoyarsk, we are starting to design a plant for deep processing of grain. In a separate area we allocate crop production (production of wheat, barley, soy beans for our own needs), which we will develop in the south of Kuzbass, Novosibirsk region and Krasnoyarsk Krai”, - the head of the holding told.He also did not rule out mergers and acquisitions: “I don’t see any particular prospects in pig production, primarily because of the inevitable crisis of overproduction, so we don’t plan to develop globally. If we buy any enterprises, then only to continue the production chain. So, last year we purchased the "Good Taste" meat processing plant in Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg), thus increasing the output of the final product".
