Agromars Complex LLC (Kyiv region) intends to build a plant for processing bio waste, according to the company’s website. “We discussed the design and construction of a bio waste processing plant with the leadership of the German company Kablitz.

Today the German company is preparing a commercial offer. In the near future, we will sign a cooperation agreement,” the company said.
Agromars is the second largest producer of poultry in Ukraine (the Havrylivski Kurchata brand), a vertically integrated holding with a closed production cycle.
