The Sverdlovsk plant, on which prices for pork and chicken depend, went to Sibagro

“Within 5 working days from the date of summing up <...> a property purchase and sale agreement is concluded with the winner,” the document says.

The auction took place on Friday; Sibagro’s only rival was a certain Alexander Gurov. He agreed to buy the shares at the starting price, the agricultural group added only 19 thousand rubles - the auction ended.

Before the competition, Sibagro already owned 25.07% of the shares of the feed mill. Now the region will completely withdraw from its capital: the remaining stakes belong to individuals.

As stated in the materials prepared for the competition, the plant is one of the twenty largest Russian producers of compound feed. More than half of the production volume is feed for pigs, more than a third for poultry.

The plans of the Sverdlovsk authorities to sell the shares became known back in November. Even then, Sibagro was called the main contender for them.
