During the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the head of the Altai Territory, Viktor Tomenko, met with representatives of the company "Blago," which plans to implement a significant investment project in Rubtsovsk for the construction of a sunflower and rapeseed processing plant, he announced in his Telegram channel.
"We continue to cooperate with the company 'Blago,' specializing in sunflower oil production. In our region, it already operates two production plants in the largest cities – in Barnaul and Biysk. During the SPIEF, we discussed the possibility of creating a third plant in Rubtsovsk, where a large investment project is planned, involving the construction of an elevator and processing plant with investments of over 14 billion rubles," Viktor Tomenko said.
