It planned capacity is 240 thousand tons of turkey meat and 50 thousand tons of duck meat a year. In addition, they plan works for reconstruction of Elshanskaya and Krasnokutskaya poultry factories. At the same time the upgrade of Mikhailovskaya poultry factory in Tatischevo district is going on at full speed.
