In 2016 Smetanino Poultry Plant LLC became the winner of the competition for its achievement of high production performance among agribusinesses.

On October 3, 2015, Smetanino Poultry Plant became a participant in the annual regional fair dedicated to the day of agricultural workers. At this event, the company received a letter of thanks from the Department of the Smolensk region and a cash prize.

Products in great demand.

Acting governor Alexei Ostrovsky visited the Smetanino poultry plant in the Smolensk region.Poultry plant “Smetanino” was set up in 1963. Today, the company offers a wide range of products: chicken eggs, pasteurized egg melange  and poultry.In 2014, the poultry population at the enterprise was 488 thousand heads, which is 3% more than in 2013. For the past year, the factory has  produced 113.7 million eggs, which is more than in 2013  by 6 million eggs. According to the results for 2014, the share of the Smetanino poultry plant accounted for 42% of the total egg production in the region. The production of poultry meat in 2014 amounted to 331 tons.High production results are reflected in economic indicators, which reveal the efficiency of the company business. Thus, the revenue from sales, works and services last year amounted to 431 million rubles, which is 10% higher than in 2013.

«Smetanino» has a wide chain of brand stores, it also supplies large federal chains such as “Auchan”, “Atak”, “Magnit”,  “Perekryostok”, “Diksi”, “Metro”, “Liniya”, “Semya”, “Evrotorg” and “Lenta”.

It is also worth noting that in 2013–2014 the company received 47.2 million rubles of subsidies, including 40.3 million rubles from the federal budget and 6.9 million from the regional budget. Five years ago, the company made a large-scale reconstruction and replaced the old equipment with modern equipment. Today, Smetanino uses modern Italian equipment, a microclimate system, and an egg sorting machine. The company combines advanced technologies with various recipes.

Despite  crisis  the poultry plant takes off

The poultry plant shows a positive trend even during a protracted crisis. In 2014, the company produced 113.7 million eggs, which is 6 million more than in the previous period.

Positive merging

Sales of products, works and services for the past period of last year amounted to 431.5 million rubles, which is 10% higher than in 2013.During the visit to the plant, the Governor, Aleksei Ostrovsky, understood that the product range allows the plant to be a supplier for the largest federal trade chains. Interestingly, only 15 – 20% of products remain in Smolensk. As the General Director of Smetanino Poultry Plant, Nikolay Rogov, noted, there is currently a high demand for eggs. Despite the existing competition from both local and Belarusian producers, the poultry plant feels quite confident on the sales market. In addition, after purchasing Italian equipment and switching to another category of electricity supply, the number of production costs decreased. The increase in revenue over the past year and a half has amounted to 30 – 35%. For the past couple of years, the company received subsidies amounting to about 47 million rubles, most of which comes from the federal budget.According to Nikolai Alexandrovich, the integration with Smolensk Plant of Bread and Products brings additional income, however, the volume of manufactured products is not  high enough. At present there are four facilities on the plant premises and two more production facilities were launched in 2016 to increase the volume.

School and Production

The Governor visited the local village school in Prigorskoye. Last year, it ranked among the top 100 educational institutions in Russia, the students’ performance here turned out to be higher than the average results throughout the Smolensk region. In 2014, the regional administration allocated more than 2 million rubles for complex renovation of this school. Supported by the “Accessible Environment” program, the school purchased a school bus for disabled students.The school offers the students a wide range of vocational subjects. Children have the opportunity to learn embroidery and modeling (from the 2nd class),  wood processing and machine operating. According  to Valery Ponizovtsev,  the school Principal, the training programs in driving  (category “B” and  “tractor driver”)  meet the quality standards of driving schools. The school plot where different crops are grown is cultivated with the MTZ-80 tractor.

Today, Smetanino village can justifiably be called the sports capital of the Smolensk region. There are sambo and judo societies, table tennis,  football and volleyball teams. Local athletes often become winners of the local and reginal competitions.

People are the greatest asset!

Socially responsible business attracts a lot of media attention, it turned  into a key component of the corporate strategy. It manifests itself in  the number of  measures and events  which are aimed to help people. The village of Smetanino can serve as a bright illustration of such practice, as it is closely connected with one of the largest poultry plants in the region. The new company owners  decided to provide support for children’s sport and invest in its development.— There are a lot of children and  adolescents in the village,” says Yury Davydovsky, General Director of Smetanino Poultry Plant. “After school, there was really nothing for the them to do because there was a limited choice of entertainment opportunities. Well, we decided to support the youth and develop sport.”The enthusiasm of Sergey Machulsky, an excellent athlete and teacher, helped him to  unite those  boys and girls who want to become strong and courageous,  as a result there are sambo and judo societies. The wrestling society, which is the most popular and numerous today, is famous for its good results in  different tournaments.-Yuriy Gennadyevich, what are your plans for the future?- We help to  repair  the House of Culture, we  replaced the doors, lighting, did other types of work. We provide funds for  purchasing sports equipment: kimono, wrestling, nets and balls for volleyball and football,  sets for table tennis. Our football team is well equipped. We cover travel expenses of sportsmen who take part in competitions. We are businessmen and we can only help financially, but I believe, it is also important.

Sport without beer

Sergey Machulsky, sambo and judo wrestling coach:- Today, 40 adolescents do wrestling. We welcome everyone: bothe boys or girls. Children  enjoy  doing it a lot. We are grateful to the managers of the  poultry plant for this opportunity.  They help us financially, help with renovation of facilities,  repair of inventory,  old windows. We know that we can rely on their support and it is very important to us! The poultry plant also helped to renovate the football pitch so that it can meet the requirements of regional tournaments. Our players are steadily making progress, they are now among the top three winning teams in the city. Children do any kind of sport for free, we invite children, teenagers, and adults. Interest in sports  is so high, that you are unlikely  to see young people drinking beer in the evening.

Grateful parents!

Irina Chamova, mother of the young wrestler Kirill:- This approach to the work is pleasant to everyone: both parents and children. My son is happy to train in the wrestling society, he was given a uniform, and now the boys are preparing for the competitions. But the main thing is that the child is engaged in a good, useful activity, and does not hang around  in the evenings. The gym became his second home. I would like to thank  manages of the poultry plant. Today there is no clear definition of the social responsibility of business, but  business community agrees that the care of a person is the cornerstone of this process. This is the main motivation for people to work, to have a healthy lifestyle and, as a result, it becomes the foundation for the economic growth of the state.

Andrey Zavyalov.

Supporting children’s sport is only one of social projects. Smetanino poultry plant participated in a charity auction and supported children from Shatalovsky orphanage. It is really difficult to count how many good things have already been done!
