Investor will invest 467 million rubles in the project to preserve the enterprise of Alushta essential oil state farm plant. It is planned to lay new fields of essential oil crops lavender, rose, rosemary, frankincense, purchase equipment and build workshops for the production of cosmetic products and laboratories for the development of new species.
In addition, in February of the next year, investor plans to build a nursery of planting material.
According to the schedule of laying plantings of essential oil crops in 2021, the investor will lay 162 hectares of lavender, rose, rosemary, frankincense. It will also buy agricultural machinery, transport, and build new workshops.

The second stage of equipment procurement will begin in 2022, the third in 2023. This, in turn, will allow us to expand our products and introduce new items — cosmetic creams, masks, lotions, face oils, wash gels, conditioners and shampoos for hair.
