Financing

R&D 1997–2007, accomplished by budgetary financing. R&D projects are accomplished in full volume, are completed to introduction. The search of investors is conducted for creation of production raw materials of tobacco Burley.

Brief description

Absence of the home raw materials of tobacco Burley and dependence of tobacco industry on import, great expenses of money on their purchase determine necessity of creation our own source of raw materials. In this connection for the first time in GNU VNIITTI RAA home varieties of tobacco Burley were created and the technology of economy resources for growing them was elaborated.

The raw materials correspond to the sanitary and hygienic standards of RF. Production and consumption of products in ecologically clean.

Necessary equipment and apparatus for realization of work in accordance of project are available. The objects of intellectual property are protected by author's certificates. Specialist keeps technology observance under author's supervision and takes part in distribution of profit during production of raw materials.

Examples of practical application

• project is used in tobacco branch of industry;
• project is directed on putting into production of home raw materials of tobacco Burley by farms of RF and countries of CIS;
• tobacco Burley raw materials are part of blends of contemporary type of smoking products (their part blend composes about 30 %).

Investment volume necessary for introduction is 130000 rubles/ha (4500 $/ha). Period of cover of expenditure is 3–5 years. Factors of risk of project organization: extreme weather conditions and breach of cultivation's technology.

In GNU VNIITTI RAA there are highly qualified specialists.
