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.
