Full Production Cycle and Modern Technologies
The production complex will implement a closed cycle: from growing quality potatoes to their deep processing into products demanded by the food industry. By using leading European technological lines, the enterprise will be able to produce high-quality mash, allowing it to compete with the largest market players.
The factory is expected to meet the needs of consumers in the western region of Ukraine, as well as open opportunities for export to the markets of the European Union and Asia. The cluster is also considering the prospect of investing in the creation of a potato starch production line for about ₴20 million.
“The cluster will provide a complete cycle – from growing potatoes to deep processing into products demanded by the food industry.”
