The twelfth session of MoSt, the all-Russian agricultural student team Milk Standard, has come to an end at EkoNiva's production facilities in Voronezh, Ryazan and Orenburg oblasts. Seventy-nine students from fourteen higher and secondary vocational education institutions of the country worked at the company's enterprises.

This year, MoSt has more than doubled in size compared to 2022. The young people studying to become herd managers, veterinarians, technicians and economists mastered their professional skills on EkoNiva’s eighteen modern farms.

Over a period of two months, together with the company's experts, they provided animals with preventive care and treatment, practiced vaccination and blood collection, took part in feeding and control milking of cows. Besides, the herd managers and veterinarians worked in the reproduction, young stock and orthopaedics departments.

The aspiring technicians learned about the design and functions of imported and Russian agricultural equipment, carried out its maintenance and repair and tried their hand as machine operators on the farms and in the fields. The students of economics faculties gained experience from the company's leading specialists.

‘Over the seven years that the MoSt team exists, our enterprises have welcomed more than 700 up-and-coming young people. This project is getting increasingly popular with students, and no wonder – it gives them a true picture of agriculture. Today’s farming is a modern, promising and high-tech industry where one can find a job and achieve success’, says Yevgeniy Bezpalov, Manager of the Talent Pool Department at EkoNiva-APK Holding.

In addition to developing practical skills, the students received a lot of valuable information during lectures delivered by the company's top specialists. Stefan Dürr, President of EkoNiva Group, also had a meeting with MoSt members, sharing his professional and life experience with them. He praised the students for their high level of training, wished them good luck and invited them to join the holding after graduation.
