Russia’s First Pectin and Inulin Factory
A Jerusalem artichoke processing facility is under construction in the city of Georgievsk, Stavropol Region. The new
factory will be able to handle 40,000 tonnes annually and produce
inulin, pectin, fructose-glucose syrup, dietary fibre, and inulin and
pectin-containing juices.These substances are vitally important to
the food industry, especially in the manufacture of dietary and
medicinal products, aswell as to the pharmaceutical and chemical
sectors. Their production is virtually unknown in Russia, and
they are imported from overseas. As a result of the debilitatingly
high price of inulin and pectin, many Russian businesses have
been forced to either abstain from or limit their use, leading to a
catastrophic deficit of these substances on the Russian market and
making it one of the causes of Russia’s high rate of illness and low
life expectancy. APK Georgievskaya, the agricultural company,
has chosen a processing system based on proven Russianpatented
technology (an identical system is operating successfully
in Italy). At the same time, the key technology for the inulin and
pectin extraction is based on nanotechnology. In Georgievsk, the
production hall and storehouses have already been built and all
the necessary services have been connected. The project is being
financed by APK Georgievskaya’s own funds and credit made
possible by a coinvestor- the German consultants Obermeyer
Planen + Beraten GmbH. The state Rosnanotech corporation
may come on board in the future. With the active partnership
of Stavropol Region’s Ministry of Economic Development, APK
Georgievskaya has made a request to the state corporation for
joint finance of the project, and discussions are now under way.

From 2012 the kaizen philosophy will be implemented in Stavropol
Krai. For over 50 years the Japanese lean manufacturing system has
kept a focus on continual improvements in production, research and
management. From the shop floor to the boardroom, kaizen keeps
waste to an absolute minimum.
Modernisation in Stavropol has always meant new
technology and equipment, but experience has shown that raising
productivity, reducing the time used by the production cycle,
improving quality, freeing up space and reducing breakdowns
fundamentally improve companies’ finances and make them
more competitive in the marketplace. In a nutshell, modernisation
means the ideology of «new» management.

In the words of Dmitriy Samatov, the Krai’s Minister of Industry,
Energy and Transport, that is what kaizen will bring. «Experience
has shown that lean technology is one of the most effective methods
and brings the fastest results. Lean manufacturing encourages constant
improvements in product development and client and supplier
relationships. Goods are made precisely to customers’ requirements,
and suffer many fewer defects than those made under the old system.
Labour costs, space, capital and time are all saved», he says.
Companies already using lean manufacturing in Russia include
RUSAL, VSMPO-Avisma, OAO Sollers (owners of UAZ and
ZMZ), KamAZ and Sberbank. Energomera introduced Stavropol
Krai to lean manufacturing in the year 2000.
«We are now taking our first steps, and in 2012 we will launch a
programme to introduce lean manufacturing in the Krai. This will
include training to acquaint civil servants with kaizen», says Samatov.
«I believe that it will exponentially increase the economic effectiveness
of the capabilities that we currently possess. By changing
the leaders’ ideology we will ultimately change the whole production
chain, reducing blockages and raising profits. By March next year
we will have defined which firms will be taking part in the pilot
programme».
The many facets of lean manufacturing include both ab-initio
staff training and further career courses, thus changing ways of
thinking and approaches to work.
One glittering example of lean manufacturing is OAO KamAZ,
whose introduction of the philosophy in 2006 has brought results
estimated at 16bn roubles. Spring 2012 will see the formation of
a working group composed of regional business leaders. Its task
will be to visit and learn from those factories in Russia where kaizen
is in use.

The 5th convocation of the Stavropol Krai Duma has started work under
a new leader, Yuri Beliy, a former deputy government chairman.
Does life in the Krai look different from the Speaker’s chair? Has he
inherited anything from his predecessors? What does the new Duma
plan to add to the Krai’s legislation? We spoke with him about this
and more.
Yuri Vasilyevich, you had long experience of executive authority.
How much has taking over the Krai’s legislature changed your views
on the political and socio-economic situation?
I haven’t noticed a big change, but I can certainly say that a parliamentary
deputy is more of a politician than even the First Deputy
Chairman. I know that we would need several annual budgets to
cover all the counties’ problems, but now I cannot cite a lack of
funds as an excuse. I owe it to those who voted for me to attend
to both Krai-wide issues and the concrete problems that they
send my way. Becoming a parliamentary deputy has changed my
viewpoint. Over the course of the election campaign I met 25,000
voters. What are their peeves? Roads, lighting, gas, water. Taking
action means finding funding, perhaps by qualifying for a Krai
or federal programme, and that will require the local authorities
to prepare the paperwork and find funds for co-finance. For that
reason at meetings I always say that we will work together. We are
all public servants, so we should work for the community.
Does the long-standing rivalry between the executive and legislative
branches still exist, and does it interfere with work?
Deputies are more aware of the ebb and flow of public opinion,
while the executive deals with the big picture, but Stavropol’s
well-being is the aim of both. If debate helps us find solutions
then I am all for it – the Duma is a place of discussion. But without
a tangible result we become populists and demagogues. I believe
that the issues should be thrashed out at committee level so
that fully-refined plans can be put forward to the full Duma. With
all the documents coming in from the government and the prosecutor,
the Duma really is becoming a place of serious discussion,
and in order for our work to be effective we need to be able to
listen to each other.
What do you think of the work the previous convocation has bequeathed
you? What was its greatest achievement?
Over the past 18 years our forebears have laid the legislative
foundations and set about creating resilient economic, social and
political growth. A strong system of land rights has been put in
place, which is important in a Krai with 6.5m hectares of arable
land and 4m of pasture. The future has surprises in store, but we
have been left a secure base from which to move forward.
You must have crossed paths with many of the deputies before, and over
the past 3 months you must have formed an impression of the rest…
Yes, I’ve known most for a long time. They are experienced, capable,
wide and professional. I’m also glad that we have new blood.
In sum we receive both a measured approach and a modern take
on the issues.
What has the 5th convocation of the Duma started work on?
The 2012 budget was a very important document and, despite
the tight timescale, it was examined very carefully. Over 80% of
spending is concerned with improving standards of living. To
take an example, expenditure on accommodation for orphans
has doubled, state salaries are up and concessions are to become
index-linked. Money is going to refurbish cultural centres and
children’s homes, to health and to housing for rural teachers.
There is a body of opinion which holds that we should spend more
on developing the economy in order to be able to afford all this social
spending.
This the eternal Scylla and Charybdis of issues, but I wouldn’t
say that we aren’t investing in the economy. The sums we put in
are not huge, but they attract funding from elsewhere. In agriculture
our participation in federal programmes brings us 3 roubles
of extra money for every one of our own. We put a lot towards
subsidising interest payments and supporting investment. More
investment means higher tax revenues. Small businesses employ
a third of the population. When we proposed reducing taxes
for these firms people asked, “Where will the budget be funded
from?” but when our infant small businesses are standing on
their own feet the budget will be much better off.
You have proposed setting up a committee on ethic relations Why is
it needed, and what hopes will be placed in it?
The Krai has always been a magnet for all the mountain republics,
and it is no secret that the fact that it is one of the few regions
where the population is increasing is largely down to migration.
When new arrivals misbehave it causes resentment. I hope the
committee will help us keep the peace in Stavropol.
What are the Duma’s priorities for the forthcoming year?
Helping the poor. Increasing business activity, investment and the
use of innovative technology. Building industrial parks. Continuing
the replacement of agricultural vehicles. Helping pedigree
animal breeding and seed development. A law designed to rectify
the problems with bread – our flour is in demand the world over,
yet bread in the Krai is increasingly poor. We want to level the
playing field for all bakeries. And some areas of the Krai see no
more rain than the desert, so we are working building new irrigation
systems.
What aims do you have for yourself and the deputies as a corps for
the 5-year convocation?
Simple ones: to improve standards of living in the Krai and facilitate
its lasting development. I would like the next convocation to
value our work as highly as we value that of our own predecessors,
and I would like every resident of the Krai to feel the benefit.

A BASE TO BUILD ON
Stavropol Krai
Industry
I would give a satisfactory mark to the work the region’s industry
has done this year towards implementing the Krai’s socio-economic
development programme for 2025. Compared with 2010
the manufacturing index for 2011 stands at 104.4%, and ten of
our twelve industrial sectors achieved growth varying between
2% and 52%. The total volume of goods produced was valued at
239.3bn roubles, which is 15.4% up on 2010.
In the processing sector the production index stands at 104.5%.
Goods produced were up 15% at 174.5bn roubles. OAO Electroautomatica,
OAO Nevinnomysskiy Azot, OAO Energomera,
OAO Arnest and OAO Signal are showing steady growth. Incidentally,
the latter won a 1.5bn-rouble defence contract last year.
It has become a major producer of electronics for the Russian defence
industry, so we hope to see an increase in its workforce and
output in 2012.
This year should see the opening of Nevinnomysskiy Azot’s new
melamine plant and the start of production at OOO Lissant-Yug.
Fuels and Energy
Last year saw several major steps made in line with the Krai’s
medium-term energy plan. The new PS-500 substation supplies
electricity from the Volgodonsk nuclear power station to the
North Caucasus Federal Okrug, and construction of a new energy
block at the Nevinnomyssk Hydroelectric Station is now complete.
Kuban Cascade (part of RusHydro) has opened its 14.2MW
Egorlykskaya-2 hydroelectric station, and in the city of Stavropol
a 110kW substation has opened. The Krai’s power stations generated
18.5bn kWh of electricity and 11m Gcal of heat – 6.3 % and
4.8% up on 2010 respectively.
With the Krai’s hydrocarbon fields in their final stages, the extraction
of minerals for energy, oil in particular, has fallen slightly
short of target. OOO Rosneft-Stavropolneftegaz is undertaking
an exploration programme that should see Stavropol producing
over 1m tonnes of oil by 2014.
Energy Conservation
Talks are in progress with several companies in the field of
renewable energy sources. The issue of a solar power station in
Kislovodsk has been resolved. Plans are afoot to build several
100MW wind farms, including in the east of the Krai. Sites
will be allocated on completion of wind audits at the proposed
locations. I expect the wind farm project to bear fruit within
a few years.
Over 1bn roubles of private and public money was spent under
the Krai’s energy conservation and renewables development
programme last year. Mikhailovsk now has an autonomous
boiler powered by biofuel, residential accommodation in Zheleznovodsk
and the Min Vody polyclinic now receive hot water
courtesy of solar energy, and municipal street lighting is being
modified to use energy-efficient sodium and LED lamps. This
resulted in a reduction in fuel spending of over 80m roubles
in 2011.
The sound financial health of Stavropol’s energy industry led to
increases in production. Energy was up 17.7% to 57.7bn roubles
and extraction of minerals rose 7% to 7.1bn roubles.
Road and Rail Transport
Intense competition and lack of transparency in international bus
routes has created a lot of dissatisfaction. I have decided to make
changes within the Ministry to ensure a systematic approach.
Since September we have brought the granting of city taxi licences
under control. Applicants who provide safety and comfort
receive preference, and 3700 licences have now been granted. We
have also included funding in the Krai budget to bring the rail
tariff down from 17 to 13.3 roubles.
Aviation
Last spring Min Vody Airport opened its new all-weather runway,
and we are now looking to widen its route network. Last year
968,000 passengers used the airport, 8.6% up on 2010 – but international
traffic rose by 30%. The 600m-rouble reconstruction
is now nearing completion, and I think 1.5m passengers in 2012
is attainable.
Stavropol Airport was transferred from federal to Krai ownership
last year, and passenger flows rose by by 60% to 187,000. Most
importantly, it is no longer subsidised by Min Vody Airport, but
pays its own way. We are holding talks to attract new carriers,
and the airport’s inclusion in the federal transport development
programme will enable us to resurface the runway, taxiways and
apron.

I already wrote about chlamydia and chlamydia. In addition, it is important to know the symptoms are infected with chlamydia. Nongonococcal uretritis (NGU) is an infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis and other organisms, but not the causative agent of gonorrhea. Half of all cases of NGU are due to an infection of Chlamydiae. Worldwide NGU is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (STD) in men.
Symptoms of NGU caused by Chlamydiae are manifested after an incubation period that lasts from 5 to 30 days. In men, the initial focus of chlamydial infection is the mucous membrane of the urethra. Chlamydia is most often seen in men as a slight inflammation of the urethra, which is chronic and lasts at least several months. NGU often develops minor symptoms. Within 1-6 weeks after you have become infected with Nongonococcal Uretritis , the following symptoms may appear:
Pain on urinating, especially in the first time in the morning
Discharge from the penis
Redness and discomfort at the opening of the urethra.
In men Nongonococcal Uretritis can lead to various complications. Symptoms of chlamydial epididymo-orchitis (inflammation of testes and epididymides) develop after Chlamydiae have spread to the testes and epididymides. The scrotum becomes sharply painful on palpation, swelling, hot to the touch. Chronic unilateral epididymo-orchitis and prostatitis are accompanied by disorders of sexual potency and spermiogram.
Chlamydial prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland) is a frequent complication of Nongonococcal Uretritis. Patients complain of discharge from the urethra, itching, recurrent pain in the groin, scrotum, and sacrum. Chlamydial infection can trigger an immune response that leads to inflammation of joints (reactive arthritis).
If your doctor suspects that you show the symptoms of Nongonococcal Uretritis, he or she takes a swab from your urethra and a urine sample to check for the presence of Chlamidiae. Tests for the other sexually transmitted diseases may carry out at the same time.
