A new logistics and storage center, ITC WEST, has been launched in the Atyrau region, Kazakhstan, featuring a vegetable storage facility with a total capacity of 15,500 tonnes, the first of its scale and technological level in Western Kazakhstan. The project aims to strengthen regional agro-logistics and stabilize prices for key food products.
The center occupies 30 hectares and includes five railway tracks, a container yard, Class "A" warehouses covering 5,400 m², production facilities, and the 8,200 m² vegetable storage.
The storage facility has 28 temperature-controlled chambers ranging from –25 °C to +25 °C, equipped with automated systems for temperature, humidity, ventilation, and microclimate management. Energy-efficient engineering ensures reliable and cost-effective operation.
A special feature of the center is a banana ripening chamber, allowing bananas to be gradually ripened according to market demand and released at optimal quality.
