But you need to master and own production, because then we can be assured of high quality products. Sergach district has restored production at the sugar factory, but the people there work mainly in the autumn, and in spring and summer, until the beets are grown, they have to download less. We agreed with the investors of the project of industrial production of berries that will be invited for seasonal work employees Sergach sugar factory, they had the opportunity to get additional income", — said the Governor.

"The production of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries — is just the beginning — it is Necessary to expand the range, honeysuckle already master. Plus the berries, they are not all standard, some of the smaller ones, where the side is dented, so we can organize the production of yoghurts, jams and other dessert products. This direction should be developed", — said Valery Shantsev.

According to Director of "Dawn" Vladimir Fedotov, in the Sergach district, the soil and climate suitable for growing berries.

The result was the conclusion of professional experts, who confirmed that the soil and climate are suitable for the project,"he said.

"In the Nizhny Novgorod region is a good climate not only natural, but also the investment climate. We are comfortable to work with. I sincerely want to thank local authorities for the way in which interaction takes place. To give just one example. We needed equipment, so we asked the administration to help us find the equipment under lease, and helped us. We do not know to whom to apply, and all the nearby farms free technology was not. We, as entrepreneurs, really happy, and everyone would want such a relationship with officials", — said Vladimir Fedotov.

"We are starting with 50 ha for berry gardens is quite a lot. Planted 30 hectares of strawberries, 10 acres of raspberries, 5 acres of blackberries and 15 hectares of blueberries.
