The Svetlyi agricultural company is investing 3 billion rubles in constructing an oil extraction plant in the Malchevskaya Millerovsky district, with the aim of fully exporting bulk sunflower oil. The plant will process 500 tons of seeds daily and is expected to be mechanized with modern equipment. The company plans to recoup the investment within 6-10 years and aims to increase yield by cultivating more sunflower seeds, with potential expansion into a feed mill. Despite current market conditions and export restrictions, the project is seen as promising for the future. Russia's production of crude vegetable oil has been increasing annually, reaching a historical maximum in 2020 with 5.8 million tons of sunflower oil produced.
