According to the concept of the Industrial Park “Trostyanets”, food or light industry enterprises can be created on the territory of the park. In order to create an industrial cluster around PrJSC “Mondelis Ukraine”, priority will be given to food and processing industry enterprises for sugar production, milk processing, flour and flour products production and egg processing. As already mentioned, LLC “TD ELDORADO” already fully supplies the chocolate factory of PrJSC “Mondelis Ukraine” with flour. However, investment projects for the construction of a dairy plant, a sugar factory and a chicken egg processing plant remain promising for implementation.
Given the current need of the chocolate factory of PrJSC “Mondelis Ukraine” in dairy products in the amount of 3,000 tons per year, investors can build a dairy plant with a processing capacity of 30,000 tons of normalized milk per year, or 120-150 tons per day, with production lines for butter, condensed milk and dry dairy products on the territory of Industrial Park “Trostyanets”. The investment amount is approximately $4.5 million.
For the implementation of this project, it is possible to use milk from existing dairy complexes located in a 60 km zone around the city of Trostyanets, or to build dairy complexes for 8.5 thousand cows of the dairy herd on the territory of the Trostyanets city hromada. At the same time, it will be necessary to form a dairy herd of cows with a productivity of 4-4.5 thousand liters of milk with an appropriate feed base. The amount of investment in the construction of a dairy farm with a livestock of 8.5 thousand cows is 3.5 million $.
It should be noted separately that there are 13 land plots in the municipality with a total area of 98.2 hectares (from 0.5 to 16.1 hectares), on which it is potentially possible to place dairy farms. The amount of land rent is 80 $ per 1 hectare per year.
As for the needs of the chocolate factory of PrJSC “Mondelis Ukraine” in egg melange, it is 900 tons per year. To produce such a quantity of melange, industrial processing of 20 million chicken eggs is necessary, which requires the construction of an appropriate egg melange production facility with a capacity of 3 tons per day. Such production can also be located on the territory of Industrial Park “Trostyanets”.
It is worth noting that on the outskirts of the city of Trostyanets, 7.7 km from Industrial Park “Trostyanets”, there is a former poultry farm with a total area of 12.4 hectares, on which it is possible to restore a complex for raising laying hens (with a capacity of 75 thousand laying hens with an annual productivity of 250-300 eggs) with a potential meat processing line. The amount of investment in such a complex will be approximately $2.1 million.
A sugar factory can also be located on the territory of Industrial Park “Trostyanets”, since the chocolate factory of PrJSC “Mondelis Ukraine” alone consumes 12,730 tons of sugar per year. It should be noted that a sugar factory operated in the city of Trostyanets until 2005, and now a chocolate factory is located directly on its territory. An interesting fact is that Trostyanets sugar production dates back to the XIXth Century, and municipality has fertile lands and traditions of growing sugar beets.
As of 01.01.2025, there are 40,432.87 hectares of agricultural land on the territory of Trostyanets city hromada, and to produce sugar according to the needs of the chocolate factory, it is necessary to create a beet sowing zone with an approximate area of only 5,000 hectares in the agricultural enterprises of the municipality.
Investors can build a sugar factory with a capacity of 1,500 tons of beet processing per day on the territory of Industrial Park “Trostyanets”, the estimated cost of which is $100 million.
It is also worth noting that in 2028, almost 1,000 hectares of unclaimed and uninherited shares will be transferred to the communal property of the muniipality, on which it is potentially possible to grow sugar beet. The area of such shares ranges from 1 to 4 hectares, however, the land legislation of Ukraine provides for the exchange of land plots into arrays for ease of cultivation.
These land plots will be leased by auction, and the lease cost will start from $ 90.5 per 1 hectare. In addition, in the period from 2026 to 2034, the current land lease agreements for a total area of 2,963.26 hectares will expire. Such lease agreements cover land plots with an area of from 3 hectares to 100 hectares. The process of leasing these plots will also take place through auctions, and the lease cost will also start from $ 90.5 per 1 hectare.
Thus, potential investors can not only build a sugar factory, but also lease almost 3,000 hectares of land, creating a full cycle of sugar production, starting with the cultivation of sugar beets. It should be noted separately that the waste of the sugar industry (pulp and molasses) can provide a feed base for livestock.
However, the mentioned 3,000 hectares can be used not only for the cultivation of sugar beets, but also for other crops, depending on the needs of the market.
