A plant that was wooed to the Turks in Ukraine will be re-equipped in Crimea
The Dzhankoy Machine-Building Plant, which was wooed to the Turks in Ukraine for the production of tractors, is being converted into an agro-industrial park. Agricultural processing production will occupy 16 hectares of the factory territory.
The machine plant, which produced tractor trailers, fell into bankruptcy in 2008. The State Property Fund of Ukraine put the enterprise up for sale twice - first for 43 million hryvnia (more than $8 million), and then reduced the price to 30,5 million. The Crimean parliament insisted on transferring the plant into the ownership of the republic, but Kyiv hoped to find a client for a liquid asset.
After reunification with Russia, the territory of the machine plant of 26 hectares was designated as the first state industrial park in the republic, Dzhankoy.
“These will be production facilities that will be built around the anchor, main resident of the park,” said Daniil Pidaev, General Director of the Development Corporation of the Republic of Crimea. “I think that it will be determined in the near future.”
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, the buildings and structures of the machine-building plant allow the location of a production complex with the possibility of transporting finished products by rail to the Russian Federation, which provides prospects for economic growth for the steppe Crimea.
Last year alone, agricultural production in Crimea increased by 19%. Even without Dnieper water, farmers are increasing their acreage and reaping good harvests. However, its direct sale does not provide the same economic effect as already processed products - canned goods, sausages, pasta and juices bring much more profit. Plus, agro-processing provides new jobs, which is important in Northern Crimea. In addition, 100 km of the railway line from Kerch to Dzhankoy have been completely replaced, and now there are no restrictions on the speed of trains, which speeds up the time of delivery of goods to the mainland.
