The owners of the Martin Group plan to invest 1.46 billion rubles ($19.8 million USD) into the production of French fries from potatoes in Russia. This investment will include the construction of a new plant in the Rostov region, with a production capacity of 40,000 tons of potatoes per year. This is just one example of the growing trend of investments in potato production in Russia.
The Russian government has also been actively supporting the development of the potato industry, with various initiatives aimed at increasing production and improving quality. In 2020, the government approved a program to subsidize the purchase of modern equipment for potato growers, which has led to an increase in the adoption of modern technologies in potato production.
Investing in potato production can be a promising opportunity for farmers and farm owners, as the demand for potatoes and potato-based products continues to grow. The global market for frozen potatoes is expected to reach $74.54 billion USD by 2027, driven by the increasing popularity of convenience foods and the growing demand for fast food.
The investment in potato production is a promising opportunity for farmers, agronomists, agricultural engineers, farm owners, and scientists in the agriculture industry. With the support of the government and the growing demand for potato-based products, investing in potato production could lead to significant growth and profits for those in the industry.
