A large poultry enterprise in Dagestan is actively involved in rice growing

According to the HEAD of the plant, Nurudin Omarov, since the beginning of 2019, the company has been actively developing the MEAT sector in poultry farming. Today there are poultry houses, including new buildings, with a stocking capacity of 65-70 thousand places. 

Annual production of broiler meat is 600-700 tons. The task has been set to increase poultry meat production capacity at the level of 2-2.5 thousand tons per year in the coming years. In addition, the enterprise has a slaughterhouse capable of processing 1,000 heads per hour.

In recent years, the company has also been actively involved in the development of rice farming; last year, 1,200 hectares of arable land were allocated for rice cultivation. The minister also visited granaries that can hold up to 20 thousand tons of grain. There are also plans to build a rice factory.

“This company has been pursuing an active investment policy in recent years. Along with increasing the volume of processing of livestock products and expanding the range of sausage products produced, significant efforts are also being made in terms of developing the raw material base. Recently, a dairy factory was also launched here, and they are successfully cultivating rice. it is noteworthy that they have also taken up poultry farming for meat; this is a fairly relevant area today. What’s also impressive is that they try to carry out all the work here on a modern basis, with an emphasis on innovative solutions. During the conversation, we found out that the enterprise has certain questions regarding land reclamation, relating to both on-farm networks and main irrigation canals. In the near future, with an invitation to interested parties, we intend to look for ways to resolve the issues raised,” Mukhtarbiy Adzhekov said following the visit.
