The Basis of Production

Agricultural JSC “Belorechenskoe” specializes on producing eggs and various products of their processing. For production of quality eggs, we have chosen highly productive hens with high genetic potential of Dutch cross "Dekalb White".

Chicken eggs by Agricultural JSC “Belorechenskoye” differ in that during the whole cycle of production they are under strict supervision of specialists:

- Our poultry are fed exclusively with balanced feed of our own production;

- egg sorting is carried out with the MOBA XF 330 machine, which tests the eggs for cracks on the shell and sorts out the damaged ones.

It Starts With the Field...

Crop areas of the enterprise are located in three districts (Usolsky, Cheremkhovsky and Alarsky) and make 65 thousand hectares, including 33 thousand hectares of grain crops.

The main crop of the grain area is wheat. Good harvests of elite varieties became the basis of the bread line of the enterprise. In our own bakery we make real bread, which absorbed the traditions of the Siberian land.

Construction of our own a feed mill gives the enterprise an opportunity to have a powerful fodder base and complete independence from weather and economic fluctuations of the fodder market. The facility holds more than 100 thousand tons of grain.

A powerful modern motor pool of agricultural machinery allows to conduct sowing and harvesting works right on time and get maximum yields.

The company develops and improves the cultivation of vegetables and potatoes based on the long experience of Dutch farmers. The nursery tray technology of cabbage cultivation has been introduced into production. The seedling survival rate is one hundred per cent.

The skill to conduct the business rationally and to invest the money wisely has formed the same careful attitude to the farmland and, most importantly, to the people living on this land. The land plots transferred more than ten years ago from decayed collective farms in an extremely neglected state have now blossomed and became our bread and fodder baskets and vegetable plantations.

Today Agricultural JSC “Belorechenskoe” gives employment and income to more than three thousand peasant families working on this land. They live in 22 intensively developing settlements. A dairy farm has been built or reconstructed in each settlement.

The enterprise pays great attention to one of the most important problems of the village – youth homecoming to their native land. The Department of On-the-Job Training was established at the company’s base. Every year the specialists of our company together with professors and students of the Agricultural Academy conduct experiments on cultivation and study of various new varieties of grain, fodder and vegetable crops; experiments on introduction of the latest technologies in zootechnics and veterinary medicine.
