The Federal Antimonopoly Service granted the request of Finance South of Russia LLC to give preliminary consent to the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Komsomolets Breeding Plant JSC. This is stated in the message of the service.
According to the interlocutor of the Kommersant newspaper, despite the consent of the FAS, there is no agreement on closing the transaction between the parties yet.

Speaking about this transaction, the newspaper noted that it may be difficult to integrate a remote business into the group, and the prospects for the development of agricultural exports to China remain questionable.
