SuPrim Spices LLC (SPS LLC, Kharkiv), known for the “Prypravka” brand, invested over UAH 42.6 million in the development of its material and technical base between 2023 and 2025, allocating these funds to the purchase of packaging equipment, automated filling lines, fleet upgrades, and power supply systems for production sites in Kharkiv and Bila Tserkva.
According to the annual report published in the disclosure system of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), the company’s net revenue from product sales in 2025 increased by 2.5% compared to 2024—to UAH 720.91 million. At the same time, sales volume in monetary terms amounted to UAH 860.31 million at an average selling price of UAH 25.59 per unit. The company’s net profit for the year totaled UAH 58.45 million, compared to UAH 58.72 million a year earlier.
Commenting on the year’s results, the company noted that business operations continued under martial law.
“This period was characterized by a transition to a phase of long-term operational stability, where the primary focus shifted from crisis management to optimizing internal processes amid challenging security conditions. Threats to infrastructure and logistics remained consistently high, requiring the company to be flexible in planning and diversifying logistics routes,” the report emphasizes.
The manufacturer identified the main challenges of 2025 as rising production costs due to inflation and the devaluation of the hryvnia, energy supply issues, and a shortage of skilled workers due to mobilization and migration.
Despite the difficult conditions, the company actively expanded its product range. In particular, a new series of Avocado Up seasonings and toppings, Wok sauce for cooking, the “HIT Sauces” line, and Paste Mix tomato pastes appeared on the market. In total, the manufacturer’s product range includes over 700 SKUs.
At the same time, assets worth over UAH 12.4 million were written off during the reporting period. The write-offs included fixed assets damaged as a result of hostilities, obsolete equipment, as well as remaining raw materials and finished products that had lost their marketable appearance or exceeded their shelf life.
Export development remains a strategic focus. Export sales in 2025 totaled 23.89 million UAH (about 3% of the total volume). Products are shipped to Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Norway, EU countries, Moldova, and Georgia.
SuPrim Spices LLC (Kharkiv), founded in 2000, specializes in the production of spices, seasonings, and sauces (under the “Prypravka,” Smakko, and Happy Baking brands).
According to Opendatabot, the company’s assets as of the end of 2025 amounted to UAH 598.43 million (a decrease of 8.5%), while liabilities decreased by 27.1% to UAH 135.36 million. The company officially employs 97 people. The authorized capital is UAH 123 million.
The ultimate beneficial owner of the company, through Grow Row LLC and Progressor, Inc. (USA), is Andriy Zinchuk. The company is on the “white list” of taxpayers.
The Kametstal plant, part of the Metinvest mining and metallurgical group and established at the facilities of the Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant (Kamenskoye, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), has carried out a major overhaul of ladle furnace No. 1 in the converter shop.
According to the company, in this unit, steel undergoes final adjustment of its chemical composition and temperature before being cast on a continuous casting machine (CCM). The central task of the repair was the replacement of the unit’s water-cooled dome—a critically important component that protects the metal from secondary oxidation during heating and inert gas purging. The reliability of this element directly affects the quality of the steel. In addition, the dome performs a protective function, preventing slag and molten metal from escaping the ladle during processing.
CRMU specialists also replaced 960 filter elements in the gas cleaning system and performed partial repairs on the steel structures. The overhaul program also covered those critical components whose maintenance is possible only when UPK-1 is completely shut down.
Currently, the upgraded No. 1 “furnace-ladle” unit is operating as scheduled, performing production tasks in rotation with UPK No. 2 and ensuring the stability of the steelmaking cycle, the company reports.
“Kametsal” was established on the basis of PJSC “Dniprovsky Coke Chemical Plant” (DKHP) and PJSC “Dniprovsky Metallurgical Plant” (DMP). The plant is part of the “Metinvest” group.
Metinvest is a vertically integrated group of mining and metallurgical enterprises. Its facilities are located in Ukraine—in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions—as well as in European countries. The holding’s main shareholders are the SCM Group (71.24%) and Smart Holding (23.76%). Metinvest Holding LLC is the management company of the Metinvest Group.

The Ma’Rizhany industrial hemp processing plant (Zhytomyr Oblast) has begun a new operating season following a technical hiatus during which the company modernized its production lines, the company announced on Facebook.
“We have installed new equipment to make hemp straw processing even more efficient. This will allow us to expand the volume and range of our products—natural raw materials for construction, textiles, agriculture, and many other sectors,” the company said.
The Ma’Rizhany Industrial Park was added to the Industrial Parks Register in August 2024. In May 2025, the Ma’Rizhany Hemp Company began operations here; it is currently Ukraine’s largest facility for the primary processing of industrial hemp. The plant’s initial capacity was 14,000 tons of long fiber per year.
Earlier, Dmytro Kysilevsky, deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development, noted that if hemp cultivation in the region expands to 4,000 hectares, the park plans to double its processing capacity to 20,000 tons of raw material annually.
Ukrnafta is using the results of 3D seismic surveying to improve the accuracy of geological decisions and drilling efficiency.
“The total survey area over the past two years amounts to 1,211 km²: 582 km² in 2024 (including Ukraine’s first wireless seismic survey) and 629 km² in 2025. The work was carried out at nine fields and two blocks,” noted Bohdan Kukura, Chairman of the Board of JSC “Ukrnafta.” “The data obtained has already been integrated into geological models and drilling programs. I thank the team for their systematic work and the high-quality implementation of modern technologies in geological exploration.”
Based on the results of the completed stages of processing and interpreting data from 3D seismic surveys at three fields and one prospect area:
• geological models have been refined, and new promising areas and blocks for drilling new wells have been identified;
• based on the updated geological-hydrodynamic model, the locations of new planned wells at one of the fields were adjusted;
• one of the planned wells has already been drilled and put into operation with a high flow rate; three more wells are planned to be drilled here by the end of 2026, and two more in 2027;
• At another field, the drilling of an exploratory well has been planned.
This approach allows decisions to be made based on more accurate data, reduces geological risks, and increases the efficiency of investments in production.
JSC “Ukrnafta” is Ukraine’s largest oil producer and operates the country’s largest national network of gas stations—UKRNAFTA. In 2024, the company began managing Glusco’s assets. In 2025, it finalized a deal with Shell Overseas Investments BV to acquire the Shell network in Ukraine. In total, it operates nearly 700 gas stations.
The company is implementing a comprehensive program to resume operations and modernize the format of gas stations in its network. Since February 2023, it has been issuing its own fuel vouchers and “NAFTACard” cards, which are sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.
The largest shareholder of Ukrnafta is Naftogaz of Ukraine with a stake of 50% + 1 share.
In November 2022, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to transfer to the state the share of corporate rights in the company that belonged to private owners, which is now managed by the Ministry of Defense.
Georgia’s residential real estate market maintained moderate growth in the first quarter of 2026. According to the National Statistics Service of Georgia, the housing price index rose by 1.8% quarter-over-quarter and by 3% year-over-year. Since 2020, the cost of residential real estate in the country has increased by 62.3%.
Apartments saw the most significant price increases. In the first quarter, apartment prices rose by 2% quarter-over-quarter and 3.3% year-over-year, while private homes increased by 1.1% and 1.8%, respectively. This indicates more stable demand specifically for the apartment segment, particularly in the capital.
The highest prices continue to be recorded in the prestigious districts of Tbilisi. Among apartments, Mtatsminda leads with an average price of about $2,542 per square meter, followed by Vake at about $2,222, and Krtsanisi at about $1,662 per square meter. In the single-family home segment, the most expensive districts are Mtatsminda at around $1,803 per square meter, Vake at $1,679, and Didube at $1,582 per square meter.
For buyers of new construction, the stage of completion remains an important factor. According to the publication, average asking prices in the first quarter were approximately $1,639 per square meter for “green frame” apartments, $1,343 per square meter for “white frame” apartments, and $1,239 per square meter for “black frame” apartments. However, the source itself notes that these are asking prices on popular online platforms, not final transaction prices.
Overall, the new data confirms that the Georgian housing market continues to grow, albeit without sharp spikes. The main driver is the capital, and above all, high-quality urban housing in Tbilisi’s expensive neighborhoods, where prices have already noticeably exceeded $2,200 per square meter.
