Siberia's "Bohr" Poultry Tyumen announces modernisation plans

Siberian egg producer, "Bohr" Poultry Tyumen has announced plans to modernise its production facilities and intends to refurbish and expand production before 2018.

According to preliminary calculations the upgrade will cost the company RUB8 billion (US$250 million). Director General of the society, Eugene Nesvat, said "after some adjustments and improvements, the proposal will be submitted for approval to the department of agriculture - Tyumen province, and after that we will start searching for investors."

Eugene Nesvat said that the programme provides for the development of production, the construction of new plants, the acquisition of new cellular equipment, sorting machines, improved engineering, as well as the modernisation of its subsidiaries, which provides for replacement of equipment, and construction of another plant for the production of feed. The company's subsidiaries provide a poultry farm with everything you need, and so they need to update as well as modernise the poultry farm. Six grain-producing farms, grain elevator and feed mill, operating as "Bikor" within the structure of the company, will provide poultry feed for their operations.

According to Nesvat the reconstruction of the company will result in the increase of poultry up to 5.5 million head, and gross production of eggs up to 1.3 billion per year. Nesvat continued to say that the modernisation plans will increase total production of feed grains for their own poultry use up to 120,000 tonnes of grain storage capacity at the grain elevators, and feed production up to 240,000 tonnes per year.
