At the meeting of the Port Council, the project “Construction of the berthing and technological complex of Tehagro Company LLC” was presented, and it was included in the Development Plan of the Pivdennyi seaport.

The project provides for the construction of a terminal for the acceptance and transshipment of grain cargo in bulk from road and rail transport, as well as vegetable oil and sunflower seeds. The terminal will include complexes for handling grain and accepting vegetable oil, as well as an oil production plant.

According to the project, the designed volume of cargo turnover of the new terminal will amount to 2.7 million tons of grain and 200 thousand tons of vegetable oil per year. Sunflower seeds processing – up to 80 thousand tons per year. The total area of ​​the site for construction is 29 hectares. The terminal will be built on the south-western bank of the Malyi Adzhalyk estuary.

The start of work is scheduled for 2022. The project will be completed within 44 months. The payback period of the project is 6 years.
