The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is to sign an investment deal on the production of high-quality animal feed in Tajikistan with the subsidiary of CCPA Group (Conseils et Competences en Productions Animales), according to the Russian media Soya News Info.
The representatives of the company say the deal is expected to be signed in Dushanbe on November 25. According to official information, the project is to establish a modern production of quality animal feed with initial capacity of approx 30,000 tonnes per year.
Investments will include modernisation, automation and the increase of capacity of the existing feed mill and raw materials storage facilities, which will be leased from Murghi Hilol JSC, a leading egg factory in Tajikistan.
