Crushed stone replaces sunflower oil

Russian sunflower oil producer Solntsedar-Don (South)  has diversified its business, and started crushed stone production. The first facility with the annual capacity of 1.32million tonnes of crushed stone for road construction and concrete production has been launched in the Rostov region. The plant is situated on a 50 hectare land plot.

Investments reportedly totalled€11.80million, and the project was financed by the bank Vozrozhdenie.

Previously Solntsedar-Don produced 500,000 bottles of sunflower oil per month but production has now stopped.
