The complete absence of biofactories in the Russian dairy industry has made the industry almost completely dependent on imported enzymes, Sergei Bachin, founder of the agricultural holding company AgriVolga, said on February 2, reports RBC.
As Bachin said: “If suddenly Europe imposes sanctions on dairy crops, then we will not have sour cream in Russia. We are not going to be able to produce it, because the dependency here is total”.
In addition, the businessman noted that these are mainly biological sourdoughs, which are not produced in Russia. According to Bachin, we have an experimental biofactory in Uglich and several small laboratories, “that are trying to do something” cover no more than 10 percent, and “in fact, even less than the total headline volume required.”
Previously, the media wrote that Russian yogurt producers in Russia were warned about the risks due to the lack of enzymes, in particular modified starches, the supply of which has been stopped in the EU due to sanctions, and the production of ingredients in Russia is restricted. due to lack of raw materials.
It should be noted that the Russian Ministry of Agriculture explained the situation by saying that this problem is under the control of the department, currently the production of dairy products is stable and has all the necessary enzymes.
