We increase the production capacity of sunflower and rapeseed oil by one and a half times
Our task is to provide Ukrainians with food products and promptly respond to the needs of Ukraine. Unfortunately, the current situation in the regions where hostilities are taking place has led to the fact that many industries have suspended their activities. Thus, 50% of the largest producers of the oil and fat industry, and these are about 35 plants, found themselves in conditions when they were forced to stop oil production. The question arose of providing Ukrainians with such a necessary product as butter.

The oil-pressing plant of the VITAGRO Group of Companies has been producing sunflower and rapeseed oil for more than 5 years and successfully exported it. Ukraine is the largest producer of sunflower oil in the world and we have been directly involved in providing the world with our Ukrainian oil.

Realizing that now it is becoming an urgent issue of providing vegetable oil, we are increasing production capacity by one and a half times, both sunflower and rapeseed oil. Thus, we increase the production of cake, which serves as feed for livestock. The production of pellets from sunflower husks, which are used as an alternative fuel, will also increase. The increase in production will also provide additional jobs for our compatriots.

The total processing capacity of our plant will be:

  • Sunflower - 180 tons / day, of which - 75 tons / day - oil
  • Rapeseed - 135 tons/day, of which - 55 tons/day - oil
We will win! Glory to Ukraine!
