Moldovan poultry firm Axedum to expand with new feed mill construction 

Two banks will provide financial support to Axedum—one of East Europe's leading poultry companies—to expand its operation by building a new feed mill.

Maib, in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), continues to support business development in the Republic of Moldova and the modernization of the agri-food sector. Maib's corporate client – Axedum – will benefit from a loan of €9 million (US$10.48 million), while EBRD will assume half of the credit risk for the financing package, based on the risk-sharing agreements between the two financial institutions.

The funds will be used for the construction of a modern feed mill and also allow Axedum to expand into a new business line – the production of high-quality table eggs. The investment will contribute to diversifying the company's product offerings and to creating safe, nutritious, and competitive products for both the local and international markets.

As a result of the transaction, Axedum will benefit from support provided by the European Union (EU) for modernizing its equipment and integrating sustainable technologies. This will improve Axedum's operational efficiency by reducing carbon emissions, minimizing waste, and optimizing resource consumption. The incentive is offered under the EBRD's Financing and Technology Transfer Centre for Climate Change (FINTECC), supported by the EU as part of its EU4Climate initiative.
