Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev signed an order to build by 2020 new grain terminals in the ports of the Far East, in the Azov-Black Sea and Baltic basins with a total capacity of about 44-54 million tons.
The Ministry of Agriculture reported that work has already begun on the construction of transshipment points in the Trans-Baikal region, where the design phase has already been completed and construction has begun. The Far Eastern grain terminal is also at the design stage, after which (presumably next year) its construction will begin. Experts expect a two-fold increase in capacity for grain transshipment in the Azov-Black Sea basin after the reconstruction of the Novorossiysk bakery plant. The construction of new terminals with a capacity of 1 million tons is planned in the Baltic basin.
In 2016, about 35 million tons of grain and leguminous crops were shipped via port transshipment terminals. Grain from Russia is exported to 130 countries around the world, which are located on different continents. At the same time, due to the increase in the harvest and the volume of exports, the entire existing logistics system is working at the limit of its capabilities. The construction of new grain terminals will not only increase exports, but will also ensure the profitability of domestic grain production with further crop growth.
International logistics services in Omsk region are provided by Omsky Biocluster's 'Logistics and Foreign Economic Operations Center', created with the support of the Government of Omsk region and the Omsk City Administration to ensure the foreign economic activity of enterprises in Omsk region and surrounding regions as a universal operator.
