Ukraine’s total elevator capacity at the end of 2025 increased to 52.67 million tons of simultaneous grain storage, compared to 52.1 million tons in October 2024, according to the industry online publication Elevatorist.com.
“The increase in elevator capacity over the year amounted to about 0.5 million tons (1.1%), despite infrastructure losses due to hostilities and the difficult economic situation in the industry,” the publication noted.
The growth was driven by the commissioning of new elevators, the expansion of existing capacities, and the implementation of investment projects, mainly in the central and western regions of Ukraine.
Currently, the top three regions in terms of elevator capacity are Poltava with 5.58 million tons, Odesa with 5.45 million tons, and Vinnytsia with 4.45 million tons, Elevatorist.com noted.
