Vitaliy Kulak, the chairman of the Kamenets regional executive committee, noted that last year the district was able to increase the amount of attracted investments. “This year we have set the task of even greater growth in attracting investments in fixed assets. The task is quite tense,” said Vitaliy Kulak.
In the Kamenets region last year attracted investments in fixed assets in the amount of 153.3 million rubles. This is almost 8% more than in 2021. Fixed assets were invested in the real sector of the economy, most of them in the agro-industrial complex. In particular, a dairy complex for 1.5 thousand heads of cattle was put into operation at the Savushkina Pushcha farm. Milking and dairy blocks were built at the enterprises of AgroTurna and Agro-Pelische. About 30 million rubles were allocated for the purchase of machinery and equipment in agriculture.
If we talk about the industry, a private company for its own needs installed the first wind power plant with a capacity of 1 MW in the Kamenets region. Agroprodukt LLC reconstructed facilities at the Vysoko-Litovsk railway station in the village of Oberovshchina. There, the enterprise made a transshipment railway terminal to send its products.
In the district this year, they aim to form an investment portfolio in the amount of 215.8 million rubles. Significant finances are planned to be attracted to agriculture. In particular, it is planned to reconstruct two dairy farms and build three grain drying complexes. The largest investment project will be implemented on behalf of the head of state within the framework of the One District – One Project program.
“JSC” Belovezhsky “submitted the idea of building a new sausage shop with a planned capacity of 70 tons of products per day. Allocated land next to the existing meat processing plant. As a result, it is planned to create at least 150 new jobs. If the project is implemented, it will enable Belovezhsky to increase the volume of pork processing of its own production,” said Alexander Mikhalchik, deputy chairman of the Kamenets regional executive committee. Specialists are engaged in designing. In the second half of the year, we intend to start construction and installation work. It is planned to complete the project in 2025 and receive the first products.
Maxim Yermolovich drew attention to the fact that in the Kamenets region, in most cases, the main source of investment in fixed capital is own funds. “Credit resources make up a very small share. This development option under standard conditions is probably the most correct. It creates minimal risks in the implementation of projects. But at the moment this approach does not work. We need to intensify the investment process. It is impossible to do this without attraction of credit resources. Otherwise, we are wasting time. Then our competitors will enter those niches where we can go,” explained the Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration.
