From July 01 to 05, 2019, the Export Support Center organized a business visit of the Chinese company Wellhope to the Omsk region in order to find suppliers of agricultural products.
Siberian KHP
The first on the list to visit was the Siberian Bakery Plant, an agro—industrial enterprise in the Maryanovsky district. Sibirsky KHP is an exporter of agricultural products from the Omsk region, which is accredited for export to China.
A representative of the Chinese company got acquainted with the industrial operation and facilities of the plant, as well as the production line for wheat, rye flour and semolina. A delegate from China also visited an elevator, one of the largest in the region, with a capacity of more than 100,000 tons of one—time grain storage. Zhao Liang– Chief International Project Manager at Wellhope, emphasized the importance of allowing grain to dry to the required moisture content.
Samples of flour of the highest and first grade, mixed feed and wheat were selected and transferred to the Chinese company.
Blago-Omsk
The second meeting took place with Blago-Omsk in the Tavrichesky district of the Omsk region.
Since 2007, Blago-Omsk has been producing vegetable oils and feed meal. On the territory of the enterprise there is a raw materials and production laboratory, an elevator with a capacity of 30 thousand tons of grain for storage, and the main production building, which produces 390 tons of raw materials per day. At the same time, Blagoomsk has a common railway line for receiving and shipping raw materials, which ensures export mobility.
The Chinese representative was most interested in the protein content of the meal. The percentage of protein in rapeseed meal is 40-41% , in sunflower – 36-38%. According to the representative of the Chinese company, the protein content in these two categories is much higher than that of other companies that were considered as a supplier of raw materials. Product samples and certificates of conformity were also provided to the parent company.
