Chukotka: launch of a poultry farm to provide eggs for the urban district

In Chukotka, active work is underway to ensure food security and reduce dependence on external supplies. The launch of a poultry farm in the village of Alkatvaam and the planned openings in the village of Vaegi and the city of Bilibino are important steps in this direction.

The new poultry farm in the village of Provideniya has already begun operations, and the first batch of laying hens was delivered in early March. At full capacity, the enterprise will be able to produce up to 930 thousand pieces of edible eggs annually, which will meet 100% of the needs of residents of the Providensky urban district. This will significantly improve the situation with the shortage of fresh eggs in retail outlets, especially in remote areas.

The HEAD of the region, Vladislav Kuznetsov, emphasized the importance of providing products of own production. This will allow you to control the quality of products and regulate prices . In 2024 , it is planned to fully provide the region with food eggs and satisfy the needs of the population 100%.

The initiative to develop poultry farming in Chukotka is not only of economic importance, but also social. Creating new jobs and increasing the region's self-sufficiency contributes to the development of the local community. In addition, it also reduces the risks associated with shipping food from afar and provides the population of Chukotka with a reliable and affordable source of food.

In general, the development of poultry farming in Chukotka is an important step in ensuring food security and sustainable development of the region. This will satisfy the population’s needs for edible eggs, reduce dependence on supplies and ensure control over product quality.
