Animal feed production facility in Joõgeva County, Estonia, has been successfully completed.
Pro Grupp Invest Opens Largest Feed Plant in Estonia, Boosting Regional Leadership
Pro Grupp Invest OÜ, a prominent player in Estonia's agricultural sector, has expanded its operations with the opening of a new feed plant in Kantküla, Jõgeva County. The state-of-the-art facility, now the largest of its kind in Estonia, is also one of the first of its scale in the Baltics.
The new feed plant, which took just 11 months to construct, boasts an annual production capacity of 200,000 tons. Combined with Pro Grupp Invest's existing plant, the company's total feed production capacity now stands at around 330,000 tons per year, making it one of the biggest feed producers in the Baltics.
The plant's increased capacity is a significant step forward for Pro Grupp Invest, as demand for high-quality feed has grown year by year, according to Leonid Dulub, CEO of Pro Grupp Invest. The new facility addresses a shift among livestock farmers moving away from on-farm feed production due to inefficiencies and inconsistent quality, providing a reliable and varied feed supply with better biosecurity and consistency.
The plant's versatility is evident in its ability to utilize over 70 different raw materials, enabling a wide variety of custom feed blends tailored for multiple livestock types, including calves, dairy cows, beef cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, and quail. This diversity ensures that Pro Grupp Invest can meet the specific needs of individual livestock farmers.
The new feed plant complements other company activities, such as a rapeseed pressing plant launched in early 2023. The by-products of this plant (rapeseed cake) are fully utilized in feed production, demonstrating sustainable use of raw materials.
In addition to the feed production, the rapeseed pressing plant primarily sells the oil produced. The new feed plant, on the other hand, consumes all of the resulting rapeseed cake, ensuring no waste in the production process.
Pro Grupp Invest's expansion in Kantküla positions the company as a regional leader in feed production, offering high volume, diverse, and quality-assured feed products tailored to modern livestock farming needs. The company's commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident in its efficient use of resources and its ability to adapt to the changing needs of the agricultural industry.
