Feednova Center processing plant to launch in August 2026

The Feednova Center plant for producing high-protein feed additives and animal fats in Cherkasy region is expected to launch in August 2026, Ihor Liski, founder of the investment company EFI Group, announced in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

“We are confident that we will complete the plant on time. We already have a raw-material supplier base and signed contracts with partners from the Netherlands and Denmark for the supply of production equipment. We plan to open in August 2026,” Liski said.

Feednova Center will receive UAH 172.1 million in state compensation for the construction of engineering and transport infrastructure.

The investment in the first stage of the plant, made jointly with partner Mada Participations B.V. (Netherlands), amounts to €14.4 million, while total project investment exceeds €20 million. According to Liski, investors for this project were secured 4–5 years ago.

“In general, investors continue to invest in our projects constantly, even now, because we deliver results. For example, we built the Feednova plant in the Lviv region during COVID-19 and officially launched it on June 23, 2021. During the war, we have continued to grow, install new production lines, and are now building a second plant,” he noted.

According to Liski, the production facilities the company invests in continue to expand even during wartime. Production volumes in euro terms have doubled over the past three years, which is why investors keep supporting the projects. More than 80% of Feednova’s output is exported.
