Miratorg launches poultry farming project

A large investment project for poultry production named "Ptizevodstvo" (poultry farming) has recently been launched by Russia's Miratorg.

Currently, it is constructing the feed mill and grain storage, a complex for the slaughter and processing of poultry meat and three (out of seven planned) broiler chicken farms.

The total volume of investments is RUB19.3 billion (US$873 million), which makes it one of the largest projects ever in Russia in the area of poultry production.

The large feed mill will have a production capacity of 360,000 tonnes of pelleted feed per year. The new complexes will use the new Patio broiler growing technology. In this system, chicks are hatching in a tiered cage system in the growing house.

The company plans to complete the construction of one processing plant by December 2012. Capacity of this modern complex will be about 100,000 tonnes of meat per year.
