By 2015, about 70 percent of food delivered to Sakhalin and the Kuriles from other regions or from abroad. The region is self-sufficient only potatoes. The need for milk covered 16 percent, so the shelves in the shops were full of Tetra Pak cartons with a long shelf life. “Milk” from the Amur region was delivered to schools. To the Islands – as a very good market – seriously watched the Khabarovsk and seaside plants.
the Oil and gas sector of the region’s economy has traditionally been understood as a key, so that the development of the agricultural sector priority was not. However, over time it became clear that to ensure food security of the region is necessary. Five years ago, and took it. The natural limitations of the farmland, soil acidity, unstable Maritime climate with these challenges, the authorities began to actively fight.
to Improve the natural climate of the government of the region was, of course, not under force, and here the investment climate is. Was made a number of steps that have a positive impact on the agro-industrial sector. Appeared development Corporation Sakhalin region, the main function of which is assistance in implementation of investment projects. Adopted a program of development of agriculture and regulation of markets of agricultural products, within its framework, farmers annually allocate multimillion-dollar subsidies. Finally, we created a priority development area “South”.
One of the largest residents of TOR was the company “green-agro”, which is supported by the Corporation is building a modern farm near the village of Trinity. When the first stage of construction, brought Holstein cows. After a few months, the farm began shipping milk. Here today contain more than two thousand head of cattle, including 871 cash cow. At the end of last year, the resident THOR sent for recycling 6655 tons of milk – five times more than in the previous.
Another successful example is the dairy factory in Poronaysk, which last year began producing their own ice cream. Shop now made delicacy, previously used for fish processing. Completely reconstructed and reoriented in a new production. The equipment, delivered from Moscow, at a cost of 40 million rubles, and 70 percent of its cost is subsidized by the regional budget.
– Our products are prepared according to traditional recipes from natural ingredients without vegetable fat, with the requirements of GOST. The production process is almost completely automated. In plans – expansion of the product range, supplies to the continent, and even abroad, – said the head of the company Michael Kim.
one of the largest “milk” projectom on the island has become a unique livestock complex in the village Razdolnoye, Korsakov district, built from scratch according to Belarusian technologies. It is fully owned by the state. Over 2.5 billion rubles from the regional budget was built here three large barn with equipment for automatic milking, three calf house, milking and delivery rooms, sanitary unit. Bought hundreds of Dutch and Hungarian cows. And the neighborhood “grew up” agrogorodok for employees Korsakovskiy farm, part of which is farm. This project was both a blessing and a demonstration of getting your buds – so it is worth discussing in more detail.
the complex capacity of over seven thousand tons of milk and dairy products per year. Initially it was assumed that there will be a full cycle: from production to processing. However, in 2018 in the regional government considered it inappropriate to build such a plant, it was decided that refining capacity on the island enough. So while “Korsakov” is actually not able to make their own. The raw materials pass to the dairy “Yuzhno-Sakhalin,” and such activity does not allow us to go even to return.
this year the situation has reached the point of absurdity: the farm was nowhere to put the excess milk. Signing a contract for the supply, former Director of the company poostorozhnichal wrote that monthly will be able to take 300 tons. This is the amount that the farm gets guaranteed under any adverse circumstances. Current capacity of 450 tons. Prescribing the minimum numbers, the former head of the “Korsakov” hoped that in the future will be able to negotiate with the plant and sell the excess. But it didn’t work. “Southern-Sakhalin” takes a strictly specified volume so that the farm in fact fills itself with milk.
the Processing plant can understand. According to its Director, Alexander Kurnosova, the company expects the amount of raw materials for the year ahead, as the market is not elastic. That’s why through the end of 2019, the few attempts to specify the conditions, but receiving no answer, stopped by 300 tons. There is another agreement – with the “green-agro”, which also need to take the milk.
the Ministry of agriculture of the region in a conflict between two business objects does not intervene, otherwise it would be contrary to the law on protection of competition. What is the way out?
the New Director of “Korsakov’s” Ivan Kovtun so far only involved in the Affairs of the enterprise and not ready to mark the way out of the crisis.
Now I spend a full audit, a comprehensive financial analysis, the results of which will be visible to the prospects of the farm. Need to see what I “have” how to assemble a sensible mechanism to work on. You know, at this stage, I know�� that you need to produce agricultural products rather than to produce – is unclear. The current issue is closed, and the main vision yet. How the situation with coronavirus? This will depend on further public funding of the farm. Without him today not one company on Sakhalin to function normally can’t. To reach self-sufficiency – this is a big dream, – told “RG” Ivan Kovtun.
Experience the Sakhalin region, the region from oil revenues, other far Eastern territories until repeat is unlikely. Scarce “wallets” regions allocate subsidies to farmers, but it is only a drop in the ocean. In Khabarovsk Krai large-scale production in need of modernisation, no programs to maintain forage fields, there is no intake of milk. Despite some infusion of much success and demonstrates the dairy industry of Primorye. Authorities hope investors, but those coming in, suddenly disappear due to financial or bureaucratic problems.
