Damate increased turkey production by 11% in 2025

Damate Group, Russia's leading turkey producer, increased its turkey production volumes by the end of 2025. The company produced approximately 268,000 tons of turkey in slaughter weight, an 11% increase from the previous year. This increase was driven by the active development of turkey production facilities in the Rostov and Penza regions, as well as a turkey breeding farm in the Tyumen region.

In the Penza region, Damate continued to expand the existing capacity of Russia's largest turkey production facility and commissioned new facilities. A poultry production unit consisting of 32 houses was commissioned at the end of the year. It is designed to accommodate 262,000 birds. Reaching the planned capacity of 2 million heads per year will allow the company to increase turkey production by 11,300 tons per year.

In addition, in the summer of 2025, Damate and the Penza Oblast government signed a roadmap providing for the additional construction of five poultry farms for growing and fattening turkeys in the region. This will increase turkey production capacity to 300,000 tons of slaughter weight per year.

In the Rostov Oblast, the company continued to ramp up its turkey production complex to planned capacity, increasing production volumes. For example, marinated turkey production increased by 59%, driven by growing consumer demand for this category. Last year, the turkey slaughter and processing plant in Shakhty began producing 10 new types of marinated products.

In the Tyumen Oblast, Russia's largest secondary turkey breeding farm, with an annual capacity of 12 million eggs, continues to operate. Eggs produced at the facility are supplied to Damate turkey production complexes in the Penza and Rostov Oblasts. This allows the company to be independent of foreign supplies.

The company's plans for 2026 include continuing to implement projects in three regions and ensuring stable operations while increasing turkey meat production.

Today, turkey products under the Indilight and Tolko! brands are sold in national and local chains, retail outlets, and the HoReCa channel throughout the country, and are also exported.
