«EXIMA’S» MAIN BUSINESS LINES:
Meat processing
The Central Company of the Holding is the MIKOYAN meat processing plant. Today MIKOYAN meat processing plant is the biggest meat processor in Russia and manufactures over 100 000 tons of sausages, hams and meat steaks per year. The Plant benefits from a reliable supply of high quality Russian raw material — meat is delivered from Stavropol, Volgograd, Voronezh, Vladimir regions.
Meat processing facilities of the company include: Svetlograd Meat Processing Plant, Filonovsky Meat Processing Plant, Buturlinovsky Plant, Slaughter unit at the Vladimir Swine Breeding Complex.
In 2007 «EXIMA» started construction of the largest slaughterhouse with a capacity of up to 1 million pigs per year in the Oryol region. Putting into operation is scheduled until the end of 2009.
Animal Breeding
The development of the Russian animal breeding industry as a domestic source of quality raw material for meat processing is a priority task for the Company. Understanding the importance and urgency of this task, «EXIMA» team in collaboration with the Russian Ministry of Agriculture has developed a comprehensive «Program for the development of pig production in Russia» and the «Concept of development of meat livestock breeding in Russia up to 2025» on the basis of establishment of a genetic nucleus of meat breeds of livestock and of a commercial herd.
Qualitatively new approach to the development of pig industry in Russia consists in a clear division between the breeding business in the form of genetic centers and commercial pig farms.
«EXIMA» develops its own commercial production of pork in Oryol and Vladimir regions. Preparations for the construction of a commercial pig unit are under way in the Ivanovo region.
In order to provide the livestock with high quality compound feed meeting the nutritional requirements for purebred and high yield cross-bred animals, in 2006 the Company launched a program to manufacture its own compound feed at the facilities of the holding.
Crop Production
Company «EXIMA» is successfully involved in crop production in several regions of Russia. The volume of investments in crop production programs of the holding in 2006—2008 amounted to 1 billion rubles..
In production of grain and vegetable crops we use modern resource-saving technologies, which provide for significant financial savings and high yield (over 4 tons from one hectare of land).
In 2008 the Company produced 88 000 tons of grain and 40 000 tons of potatoes and vegetables on its farms including Leninskoe and Makeevo farms in the Moscow region.
To provide high-quality raw material for the feed mills of the company and minimize market risks «EXIMA» established a crop producing farm «Exima-Agro» in Oryol region with project capacity of 150 000 tons of grain . The company is equipped with the state of the art agricultural machinery of European and Canadian manufacture.
The total area of farmland of the agricultural holding «EXIMA» exceeds 50 000 hectares.
Milk production
«Makeevo» agricultural company, situated in the Moscow area, is traditionally engaged in dairy farming. The company daily supplies the processing plants of the holding with high-quality raw material. Dairy products, manufactured at «EXIMA» factories, are famous for excellent taste and reasonable prices.
«Makeevo» is one of the 100 most efficient milk companies in Russia (Club «Milk-100»)
Logistics & Distribution
Today, logistics and distribution are the integral part of a successful business. «EXIMA» pays special attention to this sphere, constantly improving the management structure and quality of services provided.
In the Agro-Industrial Holding «EXIMA» two companies «Logistic Company Ochakovo» and «Ochakovo-Logistic», perform logistics functions, specializing in the distribution of foodstuffs. Through an extensive distribution network, the products of our Agro Holding (primarily that of the MIKOYAN Meat Processing Plant) are represented in all the regions of Russia and CIS countries (Kazakhstan, Armenia, etc.).
Genetics and Selection
Genetics plays the key role in modern animal breeding. In May 2006 «EXIMA« and MIKOYAN meat processing plant started construction of the first Swine Genetic Selection Center in Russia in the Oryol region. The goal of the project «Znamensky GSC» — is to improve in the shortest possible time the genetic part of the swine production chain and on this basis to provide for the accelerated development of the industry.
`
To date 3 Nucleus farms at the «Znamensky Genetic Selection Center» have been built and put into operation. The farms have already produced more than 70 thousand purebred animals of Canadian breeds under supervision of the leading genetic company Hypor B. V. (Netherlands). The construction of 2 breeding multiplier farms is nearly completed.
