A joint venture for the deep processing of potatoes and the subsequent production of french fries and potato pancakes will be built by Miratorg and Vkusno - and that's the point. The volume of investments will amount to 11,8 billion rubles.
The corresponding investment agreement with the heads of the companies was signed by the Governor of the Orel Region Andrey Klychkov at SPIEF-2023.
The annual production volume will be up to 100 thousand tons of finished products. The products will be supplied to Vkusno-i Tochka restaurants, as well as to other segments of the service market.
Potatoes of specially selected varieties grown by the Miratorg agricultural holding will be used as raw materials for the production of products. The raw material base for processing is estimated at 250 thousand tons of potatoes per year.
The launch of the enterprise is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025. The industrial line will allow the production of several types of finished products: french fries, potato wedges, potato bars, hash browns and other types of products.
