The transaction is not related to lending and is autonomous in nature that meets the interests of both parties, the credit institution added.

Tavros told the publication that the funds raised are planned to be directed to innovative and logistics projects. They added that it is impossible to ensure non-linear business growth without equity financing, therefore, in the medium term, Rustem Mirgalimov's current share is likely to decrease both by selling his own stake and by attracting investors on cash-in terms.

The main assets of Tavros by June 2023 are concentrated in Bashkiria. The company's website says that its land bank is 163 thousand hectares, it is engaged in breeding and commodity pork production, crop production, meat processing, production of mixed feed, sugar, confectionery.

According to Vladislav Novoselov, managing director of the BEFL consulting company, Tavros could attract Alfa-Bank, firstly, by the fact that the agricultural holding is a fairly noticeable market participant. Secondly, in general, the agricultural industry in today's conditions is one of the most stable, and in terms of risk/yield ratio it is at a good level. According to Novoselov, Tavros has always had plans for development, and if there is a partner in the person of Alfa-Bank, it will be possible to implement them faster.^[2]
