The ALVIVA GROUP, owner of Ukraine’s leading bakery products manufacturer Kyivkhlib LLC, has announced a strategic expansion of its activities and entry into the Ukrainian agricultural market, according to the company’s press service.
“This step will allow the group to establish complete control over the entire agricultural production cycle,” the company’s press service said in a statement.
In 2024, the group formed a land bank of 4,000 hectares in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, and this year it expects its first harvest of wheat and sunflowers.
“In 2025, wheat will occupy 26% of the sown area, and by 2026, 100% of the group’s land bank will be allocated to it,” said Artem Chernysh, the company’s agricultural director.
The company also expressed confidence that investments in agricultural production will enable the group’s enterprises to secure their own high-quality raw materials, which will not only optimize production processes and guarantee stable supplies, but also ensure the high quality of the final product and allow control over its cost price.
“Today, ALVIVA GROUP exports finished products to more than 30 countries around the world. That is why the launch of the agricultural division is a logical and strategically important step. After all, combining experience in the food industry with the potential of the Ukrainian agricultural sector will open up new opportunities for growth and strengthen the group’s position both in Ukraine and abroad. This is an investment in the future that demonstrates ALVIVA GROUP’s commitment to sustainable development and support for the country’s economy,” the company said.
ALVIVA offers products in categories such as dry breakfasts (KYIVMLYN), croissants (Tendi), snacks (Mr Snex), cookies (Honey Moon, Kyivkhlib), bread (Kyivkhlib, Super Tost), flour (KYIVMLYN, Naturavo), water and beverages (Rosynka), cakes and pastries (Tarta, BKK).
Alviva Group is an international group of companies in the food technology and services sector that manufactures bakery products under the brands Kyivkhlib, Tarta, Tendi, Norden Brod, British Sandwich, Mr Snex, Naturavo, Honey Moon, and Kyivmlyn.
The group’s annual turnover exceeds UAH 9 billion, and its tax and fee payments to the state budget amount to over UAH 1.2 billion. It employs over 6,000 people.
Earlier it was reported that in August 2023, the owner of the group, Vyacheslav Suprunenko, privatized the former Rosinka non-alcoholic beverage plant in the capital. In November of the same year, the businessman registered Kyivkhlib and its plants under his name.
