Russia’s largest peat processing plant will be built in the Smolensk Region.
The investment project is being implemented by the Russian Peat Company. Over RUR 500 mio ($7.1 mio) will be invested in the construction of the facility in the Roslavl County.
It is expected that in the first year, the plant will process some 350K cubic meters of peat and later will reach the estimated capacity of over 1.5 mio cubic meters.
Processed peat will later be used to make plant soil, various substrates and dry mineral fertilizer pellets.
