The Oliyar Group of Companies has launched a new line of business and opened a poultry farm in the Lviv region for the production of table eggs with a design capacity of 2.3 million birds, State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection head Serhiy Tkachuk announced on his Facebook page on Friday.
“For the company, poultry farming is a new venture. The project includes 20 poultry houses, a sorting facility, a packing facility, and a storage warehouse. At full capacity, the complex will produce more than 2 million eggs per day, which is of strategic importance for Ukraine’s food security,” the agency head noted following a visit to the facility together with Gerard Bakker, General Inspector of the Dutch NVWA.
According to Tkachuk, the first phase of construction has been completed at the facility, which already houses more than 100,000 birds. For comparison, he cited the example of the Netherlands, where a farm of this scale is considered a large-scale industrial facility.
A distinctive feature of the complex is the use of a cage-free, multi-tiered aviary housing system that complies with European animal welfare standards. The facility is equipped with automated systems for manure removal and egg transport.
“It is very important that the new business is immediately geared toward European requirements. This not only ensures the proper physiological condition of the birds and the quality of the products, but also opens the way to exports, strengthening Ukraine’s position in international markets,” Tkachuk emphasized.
He added that modern automation systems make it possible to minimize the human factor and carry out effective veterinary and sanitary control.
The “Oliyar” Group of Companies was founded in 2003 in the village of Stavchany (Lviv region). It specializes in the production of vegetable oils and meal, phospholipid concentrates, and fatty acids.

The complex has a refining facility with a capacity of 350 tons of oil per day and a sunflower meal processing line with a capacity of 650 tons per day. A grain elevator with a capacity of 43,000 cubic meters is used to store raw materials.
Products under the “Mayola,” “Rodinna,” “Soniashna,” and “Oliyar” brands are exported to the EU, the Middle East, Africa, the U.S., and Canada. The company also provides private label manufacturing services for retail chains.
