A new elevator "Letychiv Agro" ("MVA Bar") with a total capacity of 40 000 tons of grain storage was launched in Vinnytsia region
“Our fields are located in Litinsky and Letychivsky districts, so we were looking for a place where there might be a junction railway station. Among the two main contenders for the construction were the city of Khmilnyk and the city of Bar. Accordingly, we chose from these two cities, but due to the fact that there are already about five elevators in Khmilnik, we decided that we do not need extra competition and chose the city of Bar", said the owner and director of Pi Consult ”, managing partner of MVA Group Konstantin Piven.
According to Mr Piven, the granary was built on the territory of the former sugar factory in a slightly less than a year. In addition, the construction of the elevator began in September 2020, and it was put into operation in August 2021. Investments in the enterprise amounted to more than $ 10 million.
The selection of the site for the construction of the elevator was carried out by the InVenture company.
According to the report, the Letychiv Agro (MVA Bar) elevator has already begun accepting both its own grain and the depositors’. After the launch, the enterprise accepted almost 10 thousand tons of grain, incl. wheat, rapeseed and sunflower.
In addition, in a few days will begin an active intake of corn of the new crop. In 2021/22 season, they plan to perform three turns at the elevator: one at the expense of the company's own grain and two more in cooperation with customers.
The transport equipment and silos for the grain storage were reportedly supplied by the Canadian company Ag Growth International (AGI). The enterprise also has operational silos manufactured by KMZ Industries. Storage tanks are represented by 8 silos of 5 thousand tons each. Hoppers - 1 thousand m3 each. The enterprise also has two French Law dryers and cleaning equipment of the Ukrainian manufacturer "OLIS" with a capacity of 100 t / h and 200 t / h, respectively.
In addition, the company “Elevatorpromservice” supplied truck unloaders to the enterprise.
As a reminder, KMZ Industries has signed a contract for the complex supply of equipment for a new elevator. The customer, an agricultural enterprise operating in the Zaporizhia region, plans to launch a facility with a total storage capacity of 16.5 thousand tons in early June 2022.
