The Mriya agrohlding plans to invest $50 million in the construction of grain elevators by 2010. In these times of crisis that can be considered a heroic deed. Part of Ivan Guta’s funds come from the sale of 20 percent of his company on the Frankfurt stock exchange in 2008. That was a good time to place securities – the crisis was still making its way across the ocean, and Europe remained under the illusion of prosperity. Guta got $90.1 million for his shares. “We have four founders – myself, my wife and my two sons,” Guta told the agriculture magazine Zerno. “In this year [2008] we bought a sugar factory, which my younger son is most involved with.” Mriya controls 150,000 hectares. When asked about its plans, the company replied drily, but to the point: “To invest $300 million in three years.”
