Demetra-Holding has completed the acquisition of Oktyabrsky Elevator located in the southwest of the Volgograd region. The creation of its own network of grain elevators is part of the company's strategy, which will help to develop rail transportation of grain for export and cooperation with agricultural producers in the region.

The elevator's production facilities allow unloading up to 4,000 tons of grain from trucks and loading up to 3,000 tons of grain to rail transport per day. Up to 600,000 tons of wheat are grown in the coverage area of the elevator per year, this is the largest grain transshipment enterprise in the region within a radius of 100 km.
