The General Director of Agropromkomplektatsiya and the Governor of the Ryazan region conducted a site visit to observe the ongoing construction of new production assets for the Group of companies
Sergey Novikov provided Pavel Malkov with a status update on the regional investment projects.
GC "Agropromkomplektatsiya" has been investing in the Ryazan region's economy for six years, during which time it has constructed production facilities and created new jobs. The Group of Companies in the region is represented by APK-Ryazan LLC, which was registered in 2018 and currently operates in ten districts: The total land bank exceeds 61 thousand hectares, comprising the Korablinsky, Skopinsky, Ryazhsky, Pronsky, Mikhailovsky, Miloslavsky, Zakharovsky, Starozhilovsky, Ukholovsky, and Sapozhkovsky districts.
The current investment projects' progress was evaluated by Sergey Novikov, General Director of Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies, and Pavel Malkov, Governor of the Ryazan region. They also visited the pig breeding complexes "Poplevinsky" and "Molovsky," which are scheduled to supply the first batch of commodity pigs for sale by the end of the year.
In Ryazhsk, Sergei Novikov and Pavel Malkov visited the grain elevator, which is undergoing a rapid reconstruction and modernization process at the hands of the Group of Companies.
The fifth feed mill in the Agropromkomplektatsiya structure is currently under construction next to the operating elevator. This new addition to the Ryazan division will have a production capacity of 40 tons per hour, or 300,000 tons per year.
Following the inspection, Sergey Novikov and Pavel Malkov held a meeting to discuss the progress of the Group's investment projects.
— The investment climate in the Ryazan region is an attractive proposition for the Group. We maintain an open and productive dialogue with the regional government. We are systematically expanding our presence in the region. We are developing fallow land, developing pork production, and building high-tech pig farms, which already employ over 200 people. We are increasing production volumes and building a feed mill, which will be an important link in the production chain "from field to counter." "This has all been made possible thanks to the effective joint work of local authorities and businesses, — said Sergey Novikov, owner and General Director of Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies.
Agropromkomplektatsiya has announced plans to construct and commence operations at three additional state-of-the-art pork farms within the cluster. This is an area with significant potential for expanding exports of pork products to Southeast Asian countries.
— The investment project is progressing according to plan. A great deal of work has been completed over the past year, and ongoing activities are underway at multiple locations. The Ryazhsky District complex is now in its final stage of construction, with all necessary equipment already delivered. We anticipate that the planned volume of work will be reached by the end of this year. I would like to express my gratitude to Sergei Anatolievich and the Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies for their valuable collaboration. We are developing a comprehensive production process, encompassing the full cycle from fodder cultivation to the final products. These are new products, new modern production facilities, and well-paid jobs. This is the forward movement that is necessary today in the agriculture of the Ryazan region, — said Governor Pavel Malkov.
The Agropromkomplektatsiya Group of Companies has developed a five-year investment plan, which will be completed in 2028. The total investment for the 2023-2024 period is 13 billion rubles.
