An agreement to establish a land-based grain hub in the territory of Russia's Tatarstan was signed on Wednesday by the Prime Minister of the Republic, Alexey Pesoshin, and the CEO of the New Land Grain Corridor Group of Companies, Yuri Manevich, on the sidelines of the XV International Economic Forum KazanForum.
"The agreement entails the creation of a specialized high-tech facility for high-speed transhipment of grain cargoes in Tatarstan with a capacity of 8 million tons per year," the statement from the republic's press service said.
The grain hub will be located near the Dan Xiaopin International Logistics Complex as part of the development of the "Zerno+" logistic model and the replication of the technology of land-based railway transhipment of bulk cargoes.
Specialized grain-container trains will be sent from the new grain hub in the export direction, and goods for consumer consumption and components for manufacturers in Tatarstan will come back in the same containers.
The cargo base of the hub being created is grain produced in Tatarstan and the regions of the Central Federal District of Russia.
