Sunflower Oil and Meal Production Plant

Location and Logistics

The enterprise is located in Samarivskyi District, Dnipropetrovsk Region. Transport access is by road. Distance to ports: Pivdennyi — 415 km, Chornomorsk — 480 km, Reni — 749 km.

The raw material base covers four regions: Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Kirovohrad, and Kharkiv — local farmers and the company’s own crops (a separate asset, not included in the deal).

Land Plot and Buildings

The total area of production and auxiliary buildings is 7,670.5 sq. m. The 5.5567-hectare land plot is leased until 2035, with the possibility of further extension.

The enterprise is in excellent technical condition following extensive modernization in 2024–2025 and scheduled maintenance in August 2026. It is ready to operate from the first days after the change of ownership.

Production Capacity

The enterprise operates a full technological cycle: raw material receiving and cleaning → pressing → extraction → coagulation. Refining and deodorization are not performed — the product is shipped as Grade 1 unrefined, non-winterized oil in accordance with DSTU standards.

The maximum sunflower seed processing capacity is 200 tons per day. Current utilization is 160 tons/day (80% of nominal capacity), providing room to increase production without additional capital investment.

The operating season is 10 months per year (25 working days per month, with a scheduled technological shutdown for boiler cleaning). If contractors are engaged for scheduled maintenance, the operating season can be extended to 11 months.

Annual production volumes at the current utilization rate:

• Sunflower seed processing: 40,000–44,000 tons

• Oil production (43% yield): 17,200–18,920 tons

• Sunflower meal production (40% yield): 16,000–17,600 tons

Storage Infrastructure

• Sunflower seeds (raw material): 2 warehouses × 1,500 tons = 3,000 tons of one-time storage capacity

• Oil: 1,000 tons (20 storage tanks)

• Sunflower meal: 450 tons (floor storage)

• Husks: 300 tons (floor storage)

Sales and Markets

The enterprise operates on a contractual basis with both oil buyers (traders and processing plants) and sunflower meal buyers (traders and livestock farms). During the latest season, sales were conducted exclusively on the domestic Ukrainian market.

In previous seasons, the enterprise exported oil directly to the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Poland, and sunflower meal to Poland. Existing customs accreditation and established sales channels in EU countries provide readiness to resume exports.

Personnel

Total headcount is 66 employees: 5 administrative and managerial staff (Production Manager, Head of Security, Technologist, Chief Mechanic, and Accountant) and 61 production employees. Key specialists are ready to continue working after the change of ownership.

Financial Performance

The enterprise's revenue has demonstrated steady growth throughout 2023–2025. There are no debts or loans — the enterprise is being sold on a debt-free basis.
