Ukraine. Kyiv margarine plant to increase investments in 2019

Olkom Group’s PJSC Kyiv Margarine Plant invested more than UAH 4 Ml in upgrading technologies and acquiring new equipment in Q1 2019, reports UkrAgroConsult.

Owing to investment, the plant has doubled its capacity for production of edible fats and industrial margarines. In addition, up-to-date equipment was installed there for identifying fatty acid trans-isomers (a gas chromatograph) and evaluating quality of fats.

The company is planning to enter the biggest markets of these goods – the U.S. and the EU – which will only accept products meeting their local quality standards.
