In Penza region, the company produced 166 thousand tons of turkey and more than 50 thousand tons in Rostov region.
The overall growth of the holding's indicators is due to the continuation of the project to increase the capacity of the project in Penza region up to 207 thousand tons per year. Last year, new facilities were launched as part of the project: a poultry unit and a feed mill with an elevator.
Significant growth in Rostov region is associated with the relaunch of the largest turkey breeding complex in the region with a capacity of 85 thousand tons of meat per year. The company restored the operation of the enterprise as soon as possible and launched a full production cycle, as well as commissioned a slaughtering and processing plant, which promoted the start of production and delivery to federal and local networks. In 2022, Damate upgraded the existing lines, launched a new meat slicing line. The company gradually brought the capacities of all production facilities to the planned indicators, worked with the range of products and the geography of deliveries.
The tasks of the holding for the current year are to continue the implementation of turkey breeding projects and ensure the stable operation of enterprises with an increase in turkey meat production.
