Belgorod "Green Valley" topped the second ten of the rating of the top 100 largest milk producers in Russia

The company went down from the ninth to the 11th place of the rating prepared by Dairy Intelligence Agency (DIA).

It is noteworthy that Efko Group, which became a part of the shareholders and founders of the holding several years ago, decided to leave this project in 2021 and focus on plant products.

In general, the TOP 10 companies produced 2.7 million tons of milk in 2020, which is 18% (+416.4 thousand tons) more than in the rating of 2019. The share of the top ten in the production of raw milk in Russia in 2020 was 13% (in 2019 it was 11.7%).

According to SPARK-Interfax, in 2020 JSC EFKO Food Products owned 49% of the authorized capital of LLC Green Valley, the Belgorod agro-industrial complex, which almost completely provided the production of the group of companies with raw materials. In 2020 the growth of milk production at EFKO's sites was insignificant and amounted to only 1.56%, as a result of which the company even lost two positions in the rating.

We remind that the increase for 2019 was more significant and amounted to 10.15%. For an organization that initially did not have a leading dairy segment, EFKO Group still shows good figures, but it could not stay in the top 10. In total, 104 thousand tons of milk were produced on EFKO farms in 2020, which is 17.8% of the total production in Belgorod region. Since 2020, the company has been included in the list of system-forming organizations of the Russian Federation. Currently, the main intrigue is what place Green Valley will take in the rating according to the results of 2021 and who will own the main share of the company.

In June 2021, it became known that EFKO has left the list of the founders of Green Valley. According to the press service, the company makes a choice in favor of competitiveness, which implies working with new innovative products and an increasing focus on plant-based food.
