Yesterday Voronezh vice-governor Leonid Selitrennik let us know that Polish company Hortex considers a possibility to allocate a plant dealing with potato freezing with capacity of 25 thou. tons a year in the region (Voronezhska Oblast). The volume of investments varies from $ 5 to 10 m, according to Kommersant .
The main problem of this project implementation can become lack of adequate raw material base - up to 90% potatoes in the region are grown by private enterprises, whose products are not suitable for freezing because of quality.
Yesterday, in Russian Representation, Hortex refused to disclose information regarding building a plant in Russia. As Leonid Selitrennikov remarked, Hortex's intentions are analogous to the "Murator"Ltd' s project to build in Belgorodska Oblast a complex suite to process, blanch, freeze and pack vegetables with capacity of about 20 thou. tons of produces a year and cost of $ 4-5 m.
