DUSHANBE, July 18, 2014, Asia-Plus – Limited liability company, Tseres Group, has shipped the first consignment of Altai rye flour to Tajikistan this month.

Tseres Group is subsidiary of Russia’s Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC) Pava.  Tseres Group is reportedly engaged in exporting agricultural goods.   

OJSC PAVA, which is one of the biggest and the most dynamically developing wheat grain processing companies in Russia, was founded in 1999.  It is specialized in producing flour and feed mixes, as well as in purchasing, storage and selling of grains.  Currently PAVA products are manufactured by 3 company’s affiliates - in Rebrikha, Mikhailovsk (the Altay Territory) and Achinsk (the Krasnoyarsk region).  PAVA made the first export supply in 2005 to Georgia and since that time the sales destinations have been considerably extended - not only to neighboring countries (Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan) but to more far away Asian and African countries. PAVA has experience in dealing with Thailand, Korea, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Somali, Kenya, and Ethiopia within the UN WFP and on a commercial basis.
