At the end of September 2015, the company Good People LLC was registered in Moscow, the main activity of which is related to the breeding of poultry. This company, in turn, owns 40% of Novgorod Agropark LLC , which was registered in Veliky Novgorod on December 4, 2015 and has the same specialization.

The sole owner and general director of the Good People company is Inga Igorevna Karimova.

40% of "Novgorod Agropark " belongs to the LLC "Investment Company" registered in Ufa ( field of activity - financial intermediation, the only owner is Ildus Fakhretdinov ) , 20% - to the Moscow LLC "Negotsiant TK" (field of activity - poultry breeding, the only owner is Oleg Chernyavsky). Contacts of “Negotiant TK” are not indicated in the SPARK database; no one answered the phone of the Investment company.

In February 2014, the Kommersant newspaper wrote that the daughter of the head of Rosneft, Igor Sechin , Inga , is married to Timerbulat Karimov (now a member of the board of directors of the Russian Copper Company), who until February 2014 was vice president of VTB for two years. “I can confirm that the companies that were registered under Inga Karimov are indeed related to our family,” Karimov himself told RBC. — These are just legal entities, not filled with assets. But we are considering the possibility of investing in various sectors, including agriculture.” So far, the decision to start investing has not been made, Karimov claims.

The SPARK database does not contain contact telephone numbers for the companies “Good People” and “Novgorod Agropark ”.

"Novgorod Agropark " considers the region as a potential place for the implementation of a large investment project, Marina Ilyinskaya, first deputy head of the department of economic development of the Novgorod region, told RBC. According to her, we are talking about creating turkey meat production: the planned production volume is 30 thousand tons of meat per year in live weight. The company is now negotiating with the government of the Novgorod region about the provision of a land plot in the region, Ilyinskaya clarified. An agreement of intent between the company and the regional government has not yet been signed. Karimov says it is too early to talk about the timing of the project’s launch and potential investments.

In slaughter weight, the production volume announced by Novgorod Agropark will be about 22 thousand tons, says , president of the consulting company Agrifood Strategies Albert Davleev . If the company had these indicators now, it could become one of the three largest turkey producers in Russia. For comparison: in 2015, the production volume of the largest player in this market, the Eurodon group of Vadim Vaneev , amounted (in slaughter weight) to 38 thousand tons. The second in terms of production volume is the Damate company with a volume of about 34.7 thousand tons The Bashkir poultry complex named after Gafuri produced 28 thousand tons last year, the Krasnobor company produced 18 thousand tons.

Investments in a project designed to produce 30 thousand tons of turkey will amount to at least €160 million, the payback period for such a project should be at least eight to ten years , comments Vadim Vaneev. “It’s too late to build now, even a year ago it was too late. Anyone can build it, the question is different: where will they sell it?” - he comments. The sales market for products produced in the Novgorod region could be the Northwestern Federal District - St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, local producers produce no more than 5-6 thousand tons per year there, and the market capacity is about ten times larger, not I agree Davleev . BCS analyst Marat Ibragimov notes that turkey production is the only segment of the meat market that is growing, so investing in it is still profitable.

The volume of turkey production in 2015 in Russia amounted to 149.5 thousand tons in slaughter weight. In 2015, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, turkey showed the largest increase in production of all types of meat: production in 2015, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, increased by 34.9%. In 2016, the volume will increase to 170–180 thousand tons, Davleev predicts.

Karimov does not say how the new company is going to finance the project in the Novgorod region. RBC was unable to contact his wife. Previously, investments by Inga and Timerbulat Karimov in agribusiness were not reported. Until September 2015, according to SPARK, Inga Karimova did not have shares in any companies. In February 2014, when Karimov was leaving VTB, Kommersant, citing its own source, reported that the former banker was now going to focus on his own projects and managing family assets.

Now Timerbulat Karimov is on the board of directors of the Russian Copper Company, the third largest copper producer in Russia (the main owner of the company is billionaire Igor Altushkin). Karimov is also the chairman of the Plyos urban settlement and the founder of the Mustai Karim Foundation (engaged in publishing activities). On May 11 and 13, 2016, Inga and Timerbulat registered two foundations - “Traditions and Culture” and the music “Dacha Festival”.
