According to the National Union of Poultry Farmers, the GAP "Resource" under the leadership of Viktor Nauruzov in 2023 produced 1.045 million tons of poultry meat, which is 4.19% more than in 2022. The holding produces products under the brands "Blagoyar," "Our Bird" and "Smoke Dymych."

According to a study by the audit and consulting company BEFL, as of May 2024, GAP Resurs was one of the twenty largest owners of agricultural land in Russia with a land bank of 340 thousand hectares.

Andrei Sizov, director of the Sovekon analytical center, connects the consolidation of assets in the crop sector with a drop in profitability due to export duties and restrictions in force since 2021, as well as an increase in production costs.

Albina Koryagina, business development partner at the NEO consulting company, notes that the process of consolidation of land banks by large agricultural holdings has been going on for the past ten years, and the distribution of the latest available assets is currently underway.

In addition, the company "Rest" JSC, under the leadership of Ruslan Beretar, associated with the GAP "Resource," on December 19, 2024 became the only bidder for the sale of TrustAgro-Niva 4 assets, including 48 thousand hectares of land. In such cases, the deal is usually with a single bidder, Enterprise Legal Solutions CEO Anna Barabash said.^[1]
