“Komsomolskaya” is a full-cycle enterprise, the complex includes feed production, incubators, workshops for raising replacement young stock and industrial keeping of laying hens, a workshop for sorting and packaging eggs , according to the Trust’s website. Production capacity is 650 million marketable eggs per year. The sales geography covers 20 regions, 90% of sales come from the largest federal retail chains.

According to the rating of the Russian Poultry Union, last year Komsomolskaya produced 683 million eggs and became ninth in the country in terms of this indicator. The poultry farm was part of the Healthy Farm group of companies owned by ex-shareholder of B&N Bank Mikail Shishkhanov. In 2018, after the Central Bank announced the reorganization of B&N Bank, Trust received control over the Healthy Farm. At the end of last year, the broiler division of the holding was bought from the bank by the Cherkizovo group for more than 4 billion rubles, Agroinvestor wrote. it was reported in May that Tavros structures are interested in acquiring Komsomolskaya, and Komos Group was also named among the potential buyers.

At the end of 2022, the Agricultural Asset Management company, which is associated in the market with Tavros, acquired the Bashkirskaya poultry farm with a capacity of 750 million eggs per year from the Cherkizovo group, the latter having previously bought it from Trust. Bashkirskaya became the agricultural holding's first asset in the egg business. In August, the Tavros structure became the owner of the food egg producer Sovetskaya Agrofirma (Kirov region), the planned volume of its production this year was estimated at 320-325 million eggs. A representative of the agricultural holding then said that the acquisition of the asset “is in line with the group’s strategy.”

If Komsomolskaya is purchased, the volume of egg production at Tavros poultry farms may exceed 1.7 billion eggs per year. The country's largest egg producer,  the  Sinyavinskaya poultry farm , produced about 1.6 billion eggs at the end of 2022. In April, General DIRECTOR of the Management Company "Trust - Poultry Assets" Genrikh Arutyunov said that Komsomolskaya has the opportunity, within a short time and with a restrained investment program, to increase egg production by more than twice, to 1.5 billion pieces, which will allow it to become one of leaders in RUSSIA.

The executive director of Rincon Management, Konstantin Korneev, previously said that the edible egg market in Russia is quite well balanced, which allows maintaining a balance between meeting consumer demand and industry profitability. According to Rosstat, in January-August this year, egg production in agricultural organizations increased by 3.1% compared to the same period last year, amounting to almost 25.5 billion pieces. According to the forecast of socio-economic development for 2024 and for the planning period of 2025 and 2026, prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development, this year egg production on all farms may increase by 0.8%.
