The Ukrainian company Dairy Global Experts plans to raise $150 million for the construction in the Cherkasy region of a high-tech complex for the slaughter and primary processing of cattle, with a total estimated cost of $160 million, according to the Ukraine Investment Guide 2026, presented at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2026) in Gdańsk.

According to the document, the facility will have a capacity of up to 1,000 head of cattle per shift, or about 350 metric tons of cattle carcasses and up to 250 metric tons of finished products per day.

The plant plans to produce chilled and frozen carcasses and cuts, ground meat, burgers, sausage products, as well as by-products, including gelatin, collagen, and feed additives.

The main export markets are the European Union, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, as well as China and Southeast Asia.

The project is designed to comply with EU food safety requirements, animal welfare standards, and the HACCP system, as well as to allow for certification under Halal and Kosher standards.

According to the catalog, a pre-project feasibility study has already been prepared, and work is underway on the feasibility study and design and cost estimate documentation. The estimated project implementation period is four years. The payback period, based on a projected IRR of 22%, is seven years.

The enterprise’s suppliers will be farms that are members of the Milk Producers Association, which unites more than 150 farms.
