An Iranian Company Will Build a Poultry
Production Plant in Astrakhan Oblast
The construction works are planned to start next year
In 2018, the Iranian company
"Payvand Group" plans to start
building a poultry production
plant, feed stuff plant, plants for
the production of aquaculture and
agricultural crops in Astrakhan
Oblast. This was reported to TASS
on Monday by a representative of the
company.
"The land for the poultry production
plant in Volodarsky District of
Astrakhan Oblast has been already
purchased. It is about 450 hectares
plus the rented land of approximately
50 hectares. We are currently fencing
the territory, the construction
workers started working. However,
the main construction works for
building the facilities will start in the
first quarter of 2018," the company’s
representative said.
According to him, they planned to
start building one of the facilities –
the plant for feed stuff production –
before the end of this year, however,
they had to change their plans due
to financing delays. "We received the
money a little later than expected.
We were late for the season, so we
had to change our plans. However, in
2018, we will probably start building
several facilities at once," the
company explained.
In December, 2015, "Payvand Group",
the leading agricultural company in
Mazandaran Province of Iran, and the
administration of Astrakhan Oblast
signed an agreement on building a
poultry plant in Volodarsky District.
The investor plans to create a closed
production cycle with the capacity of
3.6 ths tonnes of poultry per year.
The new complex will include
a feed stuff production plant,
poultry houses for broiler chickens
brought from Iran, incubator plant
for day-olds, facilities for broiler
chicken growing, a slaughterhouse,
refrigerated warehouses and a fish
pond. The project investments will
be approx. 850 mln rubles.
