On Monday, December 16, in the village of Olenevka in the Penza region, the Udach plant for the production of potato starch was opened.
In 2018, the cooperative received development subsidies in the amount of 48,9 million rubles. In total, the size of investments amounted to about 110 million rubles.
A plant built with these funds is designed for a capacity of 20 tons of starch per day. Potato from the Razdolie agricultural company, which is not suitable for retail sale, is used as raw material. The opening of the plant today was attended by the governor of the Penza region, Ivan Belozertsev.
“A good enterprise, good equipment, jobs are being created,” the head of the region shared his impressions of what he saw.
A test run of the line took place in August. Now the first batch of products is already being sold.
It is worth noting that such a potato processing enterprise is unique in our region.
