More than 2.9 billion rubles will be spent by Belgorod company "Green valley" on the launch of a new dairy complex with a planned production capacity of 37 thousand tons of milk a year, said General Director of the company Sergey Altukhov
"The new project comprises two sites with a total population of four thousand cows and a centralized area for rearing youngstock. It provides the robotization of key operations and allows creating 186 workplaces in rural areas," said Altukhov.

Journalists of Russia and Belarus visited the agricultural enterprises of Belgorod region in the course of a press-round "Development of the agroindustrial complex of the Belgorod region", organized by the Standing Committee of the Union state and the International News Agency "Russia today".

"From a financial point of view, our new project is tough and the payback can come only after 15 years. It does not bring quick and easy money. To get one ruble of revenue, you need to invest 3.5 rubles. It cost more than 2,9 billion rubles. Without comprehensive state support it is impossible to realize," he said.

"Taking to account the debt load of the dairy industry, the whole pledge of the company was engaged in the provision of already implemented projects. Corporation of small and medium enterprises found an optimal solution for financing the project, guarantees worth over 1.5 billion rubles were provided in the shortest possible time. Our financial partner — Sberbank has promptly reviewed the request, has confirmed its readiness to finance the project and in December 2015 the line of credit was opened. And the government of Belgorod region have identified areas, formed the infrastructure and provide permits", — he explained.

Altukhov added that, in addition to government subsidies and borrowed funds, the investors have invested own funds into the project in the amount of 570 million rubles.

The enterprise structure also includes Korochansky agricultural technical school, on the basis of which dual training in six specialties is organized.
