Razgulay Group will invest about 1 billion rubles ($31.25 million) in 2012, the company's chief financial officer Yelena Lazarenko said on the sidelines of the Russia's Agro-Holdings conference, Interfax reported Friday.
"Investments will go to repair sugar plants and upgrade agricultural equipment," she said. The company does not plan to expand its land bank, which currently comes to 420,000 hectares.
Razgulay's investments in 2011 came to about 3 billion rubles. Razgulay's consolidated sales revenue for 2011 has still not been released but, according to Lazarenko, the figure will be less than in 2010. The group's sales revenue in 2010 came to 25.9 billion rubles.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
