"Turkey meat production in the Penza Oblast will increase and reach a record level. This, in turn, will give an additional impetus to the development of the agricultural sector of the region and the country's poultry industry as a whole, and will also contribute to ensuring food security in Russia, "said Andrey Sedov, Damate General Director. Interest in healthy food, growing consumer demand and export opportunities make it advisable to expand Damate's production facilities.

In addition to poultry houses, the project involves the construction of all infrastructure and auxiliary facilities: bunkers for storing feed, sanitary checkpoints, a hangar for storing bedding material, a weighing room for shipping turkey, and a composting area.

All sites will be furnished with modern equipment, connected to electricity, and gas and water supply. All processes of ensuring the bird life are automated. The poultry houses will be built in full compliance with the biological and sanitary requirements of Russian legislation.
