USAID’s Investing for Business Sustainability project has signed four co-investment agreements with Ukrainian companies for $6 million under the Business Growth Support Program, the project’s press office reported on Facebook.
“The goal of the program was to support companies that will be able to quickly increase exports, sales and create new jobs,” the program stressed.
Among the recipients is Delta Food agro-industrial group (TM Gulyai-pole), which produces more than 90% of mayonnaise products on the Ukrainian market. The company received financing of $1 mln to develop production of sauces in glass containers with subsequent export to the Baltic States and for realization on the domestic market.
Uterm Ukraine LLC (Bila Tserkva, Kyiv region), a leading Ukrainian manufacturer of steel heating radiators, received $2 mln to expand its production after relocation. The company is expected to create 250+ new jobs.
Suziria Group, which specializes in pet products, also received $2M to expand its network of production facilities. With financial support from the project and a $4.5 loan from Oschadbank, the company has ordered new equipment and is preparing to launch a wet cat food plant.
In addition, Karat LLC, a carpet manufacturer, received $1 million from the project and attracted additional bank financing to purchase raw materials. This allowed the company to retain 725 jobs, resume export activities, and approach pre-war production levels.
USAID’s Investing for Business Resilience (IBR) project is a five-year program implemented by DAI Global that supports systemic change in Ukraine’s economy and increases the supply of financing available to Ukrainian businesses.
Increased trade activity stimulates the growth of prices for carrots in Ukrainian farms, according to analysts of the EastFruit project. According to the producers themselves, at the moment this root vegetable is actively purchased by both wholesale companies, which put it in storage, and the population, which forms stocks for the winter. In addition, sales to retail chains remain quite stable.
Today, farmers in the main regions of production ship quality carrots at 18-25 UAH/kg ($0.16-0.22/kg), which is on average 12% more expensive than at the end of last week. However, industry experts emphasize that the trend of price growth is observed only in the segment of high quality carrots, which are purchased for storage.
It should be noted that at the moment prices for quality carrots in Ukraine are already on average 3.3 times higher than in the same period last year. At the same time, some producers plan to further increase prices for carrots, provided the current sales rates are maintained.
