The head of the Omsk region, Vitaly Khotsenko, discusses the implementation of promising investment projects at SPIEF 2023

From June 14 to 17, a delegation from the Omsk Region, led by the head of the region, Vitaly Khotsenko, is taking part in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Official and business contacts, signing of agreements, meetings and negotiations with representatives of federal agencies, Russian regions and friendly foreign countries, as well as top managers of large domestic companies are taking place on the sidelines of SPIEF 2023.

So, Vitaliy Khotsenko held a meeting with Alexander Rudakov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of APH Eco-Culture. The parties considered the possibility of creating a high-performance greenhouse complex in the Omsk region for year-round cultivation of vegetable crops.

Cooperation of the Omsk region with one of the largest producers and investors in protected soil vegetable growing will increase the level of supply of environmentally friendly vegetables to residents of the region and reduce dependence on imports. The investment capacity of the project is tentatively estimated at over 25 billion rubles. Following the negotiations, Alexander Rudakov confirmed the company's readiness to implement the project as an investor.

"Omsk region is the warmest region of Siberia. We have more than 300 sunny days a year, as in Kislovodsk, and the winters are good, there are practically no off-seasons. And already in May, the weather is hot, the temperature rises to 30 degrees," said Vitaliy Khotsenko.

As part of the business program, the head of the region held talks with a large Russian company, Luzales, on the construction of a timber processing plant in the north of the Omsk region. Vitaly Khotsenko and Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency, met with Ruslan Semenyuk, Chairman of the Board of Directors, where they discussed the concept of the project.

The governor noted that in case of successful negotiations, investments in the project will amount to 1.5 billion rubles. The new company will create 250 jobs with decent salaries. Site selection work will begin in July.

It should be noted that the regional Agency for Development and Investment is engaged in the selection of sites for large-scale investment projects in the Omsk region. The Agency's specialists support investment projects in a "one-stop shop" mode, develop business plans and assist in resolving project issues in the authorities of the Omsk region and local governments.
