Currently the company TD “RIF” is facing unprecedented pressure. The owner of the company, Pyotr Khodykin, stated this in a letter to the Governor of the Rostov Region Vasily Golubev, a copy of which is available on socialbites.ca.
In the document, he claims that the company was forced to sell its assets at a price so low that it would not even cover the company’s existing debts, which would essentially be a loss-making deal.
Khodykin announced that ships carrying Russian wheat from leading Russian agricultural producers are now blocked. According to him, this damages Russia’s reputation in the world grain market and causes the company to make losses.
In response, Marina Turyanskaya, director of TD RIF LLC, sent letters to Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Victoria Abramchenko, Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev and head of the Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Control Service Sergei. Dankvert.
So, the document, a copy of which is available on socialbites.ca, states that since March 18, 2024, quarantine objects began to be found in batches of agricultural products intended for export prepared by the Federal State Budgetary Institution TsOKZ and RRC. According to him, this is happening in all ports of all importing countries.
In her letter, Turyanskaya emphasized that there was concern that other supplies of the same product had previously successfully passed safety and quality tests and met import quarantine requirements, but now a problem has arisen.
Khodykin said that someone wants to buy TD RIF for $ 11 billion, with the condition that 22 billion rubles of undistributed profits remain on the company’s balance sheet. Otherwise, he added, “the negotiator threatened to stop work.” The owner of the company emphasized that Sber estimates the cost of TD RIF at 85 billion rubles.
According to him, this is complete interference with the business operations currently occurring. Khodykin explained that quarantine plants are present on every ship, regardless of where the loading takes place. He noted that regional CSCs unofficially indicate that instructions and initiatives come from Moscow, where this organization is headed by the former deputy head of Rosselkhoznadzor, Ruslan Khasanov.
