Agrocomplex Alexander Tkachev

Forbes-about the business empire of relatives of the former governor of the Krasnodar Territory

The revenue of the Kuban Holding "Agrookompleks" over 14 years of governorship Alexander Tkachev in the Krasnodar Territory increased from 800 million to almost 26.5 billion rubles, that is, 33 times. The holding includes about 40 enterprises, which is controlled by the Tkachev family; Agrocomplex produces and processes a large amount of agricultural products, and he himself sells it through its own trading network. Tkachev in the past was headed by Agrocomplex, one of the key figures in the holding is his son -in -law Roman Batalov. Forbes tells how the business empire of Tkachev is arranged, who replaced the governor’s chair to the post of Minister of Agriculture of Russia.

Agrocomplex uses a preferential taxation scheme, the adoption of which, according to Forbes, was personally lobbied by Alexander Tkachev. Tkachev refuses to talk about business and distant from the Agro -compartment, but it was he who since 1990 headed the plant, on the basis of which this agricultural complex will then be formed, which ultimately crushed a significant number of agricultural enterprises of the region.

Agrocomplex continues to buy new assets. In 2014, the holding went to 40 thousand hectares of land, which was controlled by the Kushchevskaya family, known for crimes in the village. In 2015, with the support of Sberbank, the holding bought Valinor assets and after that became the largest landowner in Europe with almost 500 thousand hectares.

The 30-year-old Roman Batalov, the husband of the daughter of Tkachev Tatyana, made an impressive career by his age. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Agro -Committee and is a co -owner of several dozen companies. Batalov is called Tkachev's right hand; In addition to him, the spouse and brother of the former governor, niece and other relatives, as well as fellow countrymen Tkachev, are somehow connected with the holding. The former governor himself and the current Minister of Agriculture believes that there is no conflict of interest in the fact that his relatives are closely related to large agricultural holding.

Forbes material was prepared by journalists Pavel Sedakov and Igor Popov.

“Tkachev is surprisingly able to be friends and spends a huge amount of time on this,” the Forbes source in the presidential administration notes. Old friends will be useful to the former governor in a new place.
