The enterprise, which will be engaged in the production and processing of potatoes, has opened in the Tyumen region. This is the first enterprise of this type in Russia, the press service of the regional government said on Thursday.
“A unique enterprise was launched in the Tyumen region. Here they learned to work not only with the production of marketable potatoes, but also to introduce sufficient areas into the crop rotation structure, to produce seeds for other agricultural producers. Now there is processing, something that is not available in many regions of the country. This is undoubtedly a revolutionary and breakthrough approach, "the press service quotes the words of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Ivan Lebedev.
The report specifies that the project includes plants for the production of freshly cut potatoes, treatment facilities, high-tech equipment, machinery and equipment for field work. 51 workplaces were created.
“The government will always provide support to enterprises that develop such projects. They will also be supported at the federal level. This is only the first step towards the creation of deep processing ", - quoted by the press service of the region's governor Alexander Moor.
In March 2018, the government's press service reported that the Agrofirm KRIMM will open the first Russian plant for the production of prepared potatoes for culinary processing in the Uporovsky district of the Tyumen region in 2019.
Agrofirm KRIMM is the largest agro-industrial holding, one of the leaders in Russia in the production of seed potatoes. In 2016, the company produced 53% of potatoes in the Tyumen region and 25% of seed potatoes in Russia.
