2023: Launch of gelatin production for the pharmaceutical industry for 4.4 billion rubles
In early December 2023, Miratorg launched a gelatin production enterprise in the Kursk Region. 4.4 billion rubles were invested in this project.
According to the press service of Miratorg, the agricultural holding is going to produce 6 thousand tons of gelatin per year as a result of processing pork skin (by-products of animal origin), as well as food fat and feed protein. It is planned that in the future the capacity of the enterprise may be increased, and collagen peptide may also be produced on it.
It is noted that the raw materials will come from two robotic meat coolers of the company. The capacity of one of them is 4.5 million heads per year, "which guarantees the stability of supply."
The construction of the enterprise started in 2021. Its launch made it possible to create 100 new jobs for residents of the Kursk region and will provide about 420 million rubles a year in additional tax contributions to the regional budget after production reaches full capacity in 2025, the statement said. By this time, as predicted in Miratorg, the volume of gelatin consumption in the Russian Federation will be measured 12 thousand tons of gelatin per year, and the plant will produce about half of the demand of the Russian market.
 | The plant will be the first industrial production of gelatin in the country from fully domestic raw materials and corresponds to the import substitution strategy supported by the Russian government. If earlier the main suppliers of gelatin to the country were Brazil, China, the EU and the CIS countries, now thanks to the launch of the plant it is possible not only to satisfy the need of the Russian market, to increase the country's food security, but also to export a demanded product with high added value, - said the President of Miratorg Viktor Linnik, whose words are quoted by the press service of the holding.[1] |  |
