Eurodon to build turkey production complex in Russia

Agro-industrial company Eurodon is set to start construction of a major RUB18bn ($562m) complex for turkey production in Stavropol, Russia.

The complex will become the largest enterprise specialising in the manufacture of turkey meat in Russia, according to the company.

It will feature several poultry farms and processing plants and will have a production capacity of 180t of turkey meat a year, with a significant part of the production reserved for export.

Completion of the first stage of the complex is scheduled in November 2012, and the whole complex in 2014.

Eurodon produces a third of the total turkey meat in Russia and about 60% of poultry production in the country’s Rostov region.
