Large-Scale Agribusiness Investment
Construction has begun on the Feednova Center, a major feed and animal fat production plant in Cherkasy region, marking a significant new investment in Ukraine’s agribusiness sector. The project is led by EFI Group and strategic partners from the Netherlands and Denmark, with total investment expected to exceed €20 million.
The first phase, worth €14.4 million, is already underway despite wartime conditions — reflecting confidence in Ukraine’s industrial and agricultural resilience.
Strategic Importance and State Partnership
The project has received official approval from the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, which confirmed the feasibility of implementation and is finalizing an agreement between the state and the investor.
Deputy Minister Taras Vysotsky highlighted the project as a symbol of business trust and sustainability, emphasizing that Feednova Center supports veterinary and environmental safety through efficient processing of meat industry by-products.
Feednova Center will also become the first enterprise in Ukraine to receive compensation for infrastructure construction costs in 2025, with total state support estimated at ₴172.1 million.
Production Capacity and Market Outlook
Once operational in the third quarter of 2026, the facility will operate four production lines, capable of processing over 150 tons of raw materials daily and producing 50 tons of high-protein feed additives such as meat and bone meal, feather meal, blood meal, and animal fats.
Products will target both domestic and export markets, with strong demand projected in the EU, Middle East, and Asia.
Expansion of the Feednova Brand
This will be the second Feednova plant in Ukraine, following the successful launch of the Lviv region facility in 2021, which currently exports over 80% of its output to the EU and continues to expand through new production lines and energy efficiency projects.
Investment Perspective
The Feednova Center represents a model case of private capital and international technology collaboration under Ukraine’s recovery and industrial development strategy.
Its integration of Dutch and Danish equipment, alignment with EU environmental standards, and participation in state infrastructure support programs position the project as a benchmark for sustainable agribusiness investment in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction phase.
