As part of a public-private partnership program, trading company Almeida Group LLC has signed a long-term lease agreement for the Bogdanivets Grain Processing Plant (Khmelnytskyi region) and increased its storage capacity by 92,000 tons, according to company director Maksym Volchenko.
“Thanks to the implementation of this project, Almeida Group has already exceeded its simultaneous storage capacity figures that were in place before the full-scale invasion,” he wrote on Facebook.
According to Volchenko, the Bohdanivets Bread Products Plant property complex includes an elevator with a total storage capacity of 92,000 tons, four independent grain receiving points from motor vehicles with a capacity of 3,000 tons per day, two grain drying complexes, a laboratory certified for all crops, railway infrastructure, and a mill with a capacity of 120 tons per day.
During August 2025, Almeida Group LLC carried out pre-season repairs and calibration of all equipment at the elevator complex, assembled a highly qualified team of company specialists, resolved a number of issues related to railway infrastructure, repaired a diesel locomotive, and restored access to the railway.
“As a result of this partnership, the Almeida Group has further increased its presence in the region in the elevator, trading, and logistics sectors, as well as gained another foothold for creating supply chains from producers to European and other export markets,” said the head of the enterprise.
Volchenko added that local producers now have the opportunity to order storage, laboratory control, and logistics services for the export of agricultural products with a full delivery cycle to ports or to European Union countries by land and water at rates that are attractive to agricultural producers.
Almeida Group LLC was registered in 2008. It specializes in the purchase and wholesale of grain crops and international transport and logistics services. It has six regional offices with its head office in Kyiv: in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Chernivtsi, Uzhhorod, and Lviv.
Before the war, the company used a transshipment hub-elevator in Severodonetsk (Luhansk region). It has now been destroyed. In 2022, Almeida Group built a transshipment complex on the border with the EU at the Vadul-Siret station and resumed trading in grain crops.
In 2023, it built similar transshipment complexes at the Chop station (Zakarpattia region) and the Mostyska station (Lviv region). In 2025, the company took over the management of the Rozdorsky elevator from the G.R.Agro group.
In 2024, the USAID Economic Support to Ukraine Project purchased and transferred 25 new grain cars to Almeida Group LLC to increase agricultural exports.
The beneficiaries of Almeida Group are Mikhail Kudukhashvili and the owner of Levada Agricultural Production Cooperative, Maxim Volchenko.
