Cherkizovo Group is
working with U.S.-based company M+A Global to build a $685 million
agro-industrial project in the Lipetsk region of Russia, designed to be a
"live-work-play" facility that employees can live and work on, all within the
project boundaries.
When completed, the company estimates that there will be as many as 5,000
employees working on the 650-hectare site. The project will be completed in
three phases, the first of which will include a feed mill and a processing
facility. Construction has already begun on the feed mill complex, which will
have a capacity of 90 metric tons per hour including storage facilities for
300,000 metric tons of grain and an oil processing facility. It is expected to
take three-and-a-half to four years to complete all phases of the project. The
processing plants are expected to be operational by 2013 and the entire campus
fully functional by 2015.
As part of the master plan there are also employee housing facilities,
daycare facilities, on-site medical facilities, a hotel and conference center, a
technical school for training, a community center, a sports stadium and fields
for recreational activities, administrative buildings, truck maintenance
facilities and research and development facilities. Other amenities include
retail, restaurants and park space. There are also plans for large-scale
greenhouse facilities for growing assorted vegetables. The vegetables can be
used for feeding the employees and can also be sold on the open market.
