Buyer wanted for Agroziv - Three companies interested in Zitiste-based plant

Belgrade-based BG Mibras, which took over departments of Agroziv, faced business difficulties which affected productivity of Zitiste-based plant for production of chicken meat, president of Zitiste municipality Mitar Vucurevic said at the meeting of the Council of Mid Banat managing shire. He outlined that production has not been halted but production scope has decreased with a note that the problem emerged in the agreement of owner of Agroziv and banks with respect to loans. Vucurevic also revealed that Agroziv could soon get a new owner.

- Three companies are interested in takover of Zitiste-based plant. One is from the Netherlands, the other one is Perutnina Ptuj, and the third one is Collective farm Mrksicevi salasi from Srpski Itebej. Personally, I would like Mrksicevi salasi to acquire the plant since this collective farm is from our municipality and could round up entire production process- Vucurevic outlined and mentioned he does not know what will happen here in the next period but having in mind seriousness of all potential buyers of Agroziv, he does not expect any disturbances or social difficulties for the employees.

The question of Agroziv was included in the agenda of the meeting of the Council of Mid Banat managing shire within the item which referred to the Economic Forum in Zrenjanin October 13. The head of the shire, Dusan Sijan, said the event, supported by the state, will be the opportunity for the encounter of local and foreign investors and discuss potential investments in the region of mid Banat.
