the Urals for more than 20 years – we have strengthened our position

develop new territories – Central Russia. The new pig farm is located in
close proximity to the company's earlier acquired Belgorod sites
(Promagro enterprises)", – the press service quotes Sibagro chairman of
the board Andrey Tyutyushev as saying.
According to him,
the purchase of Shchigry Glavprodukt will enable the company to fully
load the capacity of the Belgorod meat processing plant and to increase
the scale of meat production in the Central Federal District.

group of companies. The enterprise includes livestock and technical
