In the Voronezh region sell starch-path plant for 6.5 billion rubles

In the village of Novozhyvotinne of the Ramon district of the Voronezh region, an urgent sale of the starch-path complex LLC “SP Don” began. The announcement was posted on the CIAN platform. The owners estimate the asset at 6.5 billion rubles.

The proposal includes 9.1 thousand hectares of agricultural land, production and storage facilities, as well as foreign-made equipment. According to the announcement, the staff of the enterprise is fully staffed, and the infrastructure is in good condition.

The complex works on processing corn. It produces starch, gluten, grain germ, dry and vitamin-enriched animal feed, as well as modified starch, which is used in drilling muds. Among the potential buyers of products are agricultural holdings, manufacturers of drywall and adhesives, companies producing environmentally friendly products and fuel briquettes.

The financial statements of the company in recent years indicate a difficult situation. Revenue of JV Don LLC decreased: in 2023 it amounted to 1.86 billion rubles, in 2024 - 1.69 billion, and in 2025 - 1.48 billion rubles. If in 2024 the company received 224.89 million rubles of net profit, then by the end of 2025 it lost 34.5 million rubles. Gross profit decreased by 67.7%, and profit from sales - by 98.1%, to 5.19 million rubles.

The debt burden is also rising. Short-term liabilities at the end of 2025 reached 699.95 million rubles, having increased over the year almost twice. Total assets were estimated at 1.52 billion rubles with an authorized capital of 1 million rubles. According to reports, the company’s equity is negative.

The asset has been trying to sell for about four years. Earlier, the deal with the Volgograd company did not take place, and in 2023 the company changed its management. Environmental claims to production remain an additional risk factor.

Taking into account losses, growing short-term debts and a long period of unsuccessful sales, the requested price of 6.5 billion rubles looks inflated. According to market participants, a transaction may require a significant discount and restructuring of liabilities.
