Russia's Resource Agribusiness Group has launched a three-year investment program of RUB40 billion (US$508.7 million) to increase broiler meat and feed production across several Russian regions, and to boost its export capacity.
Resource, which produced 1.07 million metric tons (mt) live weight of broiler meat in 2024, has entered agreements of interest to implement the projects with the governments of the Samara, Saratov, Tambov and the Tver regions, and work on the various projects should be concluded by 2027.
Farms, processing plants, feed and distribution
The largest of the four projects, in Samara, includes the construction of three new sites for raising broilers, reconstruction of a breeding stock site, the building of a new feed mill, a processing plant, a finished products plant and a refrigerated distribution center.
Within the Saratov region, the company’s existing broiler farm will be rebuilt, and two new farms will be constructed.
New capacity for growing broilers will be added in the Tver region, and the company’s current facilities will be modernized. Once all works are complete, Resource will gain an additional 85,700 m2 of growing areas.
In the Tambov region, where Resource already has a feed mill producing 60 metric tons per hour, the company will build a new soybean meal facility. The new facility will have a capacity of 750 mt per day, making the company self-sufficient for soybean meal supplies.
In 2024, the company exported 182,000 mt of poultry meat and, towards that end of the year, it announced that it would increase shipments to China, Southeast Asia, India and the United Arab Emirates, via an agreement with FESCO Transport Group.
