The elevator is already receiving barley and wheat, with sunflower and corn to be added shortly. At the same time, the company has introduced favorable cooperation terms for local farmers. The initiative enables producers to join a pig fattening program without significant upfront investment, providing them with support and stable income.

 

As part of the project, the company committed to engaging more than 80 small and medium-sized farms, offering them service support and assistance in selling their products at market prices. Industry media estimate that the total investment in the new facilities amounts to around UAH 90 million (approx. US$2.2 million).
