Trout farm in Sochi privatized through auction
Rosimushchestvo, within the framework of the privatization of state property, sold 100% of the shares of the Adler pedigree trout farm. The transaction amount exceeded RUB 539 million with a starting price of 513.4 million rubles. Only two bids were submitted for the auction, with Yug-Businesspartner becoming the winner, reports Megafishnet.com.
The enterprise occupies more than 80 hectares of land, on which there are 131 ponds for raising fish species and about 30 real estate objects. The plant produces 500 to 700 tons of fish products per year and, according to its reports, is one of the largest in Russia, including production of fish fries. The trout farm is also one of the most popular tourist sites in Sochi: excursions, tastings, and commercial fishing tours are organized there.
The Adler pedigree trout farm is the only farm in Russia that owns a collection of the most common species of trout: Kamloops, Donaldson and steelhead salmon, says the company website. In addition, two proprietary species of rainbow trout - Adler and Adler Amber are produced at the farm. Since 1998, the Black Sea salmon Kumzha has been raised here, and the plant is also engaged in growing and selling sturgeon. One of the conditions for the enterprise transfer into private hands was the preservation of its profile and staff for 10 years and a ban on the alienation of shares and real estate.
