Abstracts of Sofia Murzina's presentation at the ProStarch 2026 conference

Introducing the speakers of the ProStarch 2026: From Raw Materials to Bioeconomy conference. Murzina Sofia — Head of Food Raw Materials and Ingredients Market Research, Center for Investment and Industrial Analysis.

The expert will speak on the topic: "Market potential of the most promising segments of the deep grain processing (GPD) industry in Russia"

Speech announcement:

— Today, it is increasingly difficult for investors to find attractive niches in the deep grain processing industry for investment. The market is not standing still: on the one hand, existing Russian enterprises are developing their product portfolio, and on the other hand, new deep grain processing projects are being implemented in both Russia and the CIS, which are already in an active construction phase.
At the same time, limited domestic demand does not allow for a significant expansion of production capacities, and export opportunities to friendly countries are primarily determined by price competitiveness and are not always feasible in Russian realities.

— What do the capacity configurations of future producers in the Russian Federation and the CIS look like today? What other products have market potential? What will import dependence look like in the deep grain processing industry segments by 2030?

— We will talk about what is happening today in the most promising market segments of the deep grain processing industry, such as ascorbic acid, fructose, dextrose, and sugar alcohols. Current and forecast supply and demand balance, market structure, trends, consumers, current procurement and market prices.
