Cherkizovo will continue to implement its investment project in the Voronezh Oblast region of Russia, the region already has large storage facilities for grain, and facilities for the production of compound feed.
Cherkizovo plans to build seven feedlots in Voronezh Oblast, with a total capacity of more than 35.000 tonnes of marketable pork per year in order to expand pork production. Implementation of the project will enable Cherkizovo to triple pork output at regional facilities to more than 50.000 tonnes live weight per year.
At the same time in order to meet the demand of all pork population in feed production Cherkizovo is building a feed mill with the capacity of 375.000 tonnes per year in the Semiluksky District. Commissioning of the new feed mill will cover the increasing feed requirements of the Group’s facilities, say the representatives of the company.
