Specifications and requirement of these mills were according to ex-Soviet standards. All mills have railway sidings for delivery of wheat grain from the port. Most of them are partly operational. due to old age of milling machinery, low demand and uncompetitive milling cost compared to newly constructed small capacity mills these factories never reach their maximum milling capacities
