The authorities of Bashkortostan have signed an agreement with the company “Bashkalyk”, which intends to open production in the republic for the cultivation and deep processing of hydrobionts of sturgeon breeds. The trilateral Agreement on the residence of the SEZ “Alga” was signed by the resident, the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the government of the region. Next, the company will be included in the Register of SEZ Residents and will receive a corresponding certificate from the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation.
The investment project is supported by the Development Corporation together with the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Congress Activities of the Republic of Bashkortostan. On the territory of the preferential zone, the investor will open production with a capacity of 350 tons per year of marketable products and 10 tons per year of food caviar, having invested about 1.1 billion rubles in the implementation of the project with the creation of 28 new jobs, – said Nail Gabbasov, Director General of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Bashkortostan. – As part of the support, we have developed a financial model and a business plan for the investment project, as well as provided assistance in preparing a package of documents for applying for SEZ resident status.
Recall that during one of the meetings on the development of industries, Russian President Vladimir Putin focused on the need to increase the production and supply to the domestic market of high-quality, affordable food products, including fish products. So, from the grown hydrobionts, the investor will produce semi-finished products and delicacies, as well as sturgeon caviar, in order to occupy a niche in the future and supply products to all regions.
