In the industrial park (IP) “Western Ukrainian Industrial Hub” (Ternopil region), the Babusya Marusya food factory, which produces canned vegetables, pickles, and semi-finished products from vacuum-packed vegetables, has begun shipping its products, according to Dmytro Kysilevsky, deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development.
“The plant has already reached its design production capacity and plans to produce 650 tons of canned goods in 2025,” he wrote on Facebook.
According to the MP, the investment made by PJSC “Agroprodservice” (Nastasiv, Ternopil region) in the launch of the plant amounted to UAH 45 million.
The construction of industrial premises with a total area of 1,700 square meters and the installation of production lines lasted from 2024 to 2025. The enterprise has created 30 jobs, and plans to increase its staff by 50% in the near future. The plans include establishing export supplies to the Baltic countries, Israel, Turkey, and Italy.
The Western Ukrainian Industrial Hub, covering an area of over 10 hectares, was established in 2022 on the site of a meat processing plant that had been out of operation for over 10 years but retained its powerful engineering and logistics infrastructure. Currently, the park has more than 58,000 square meters of renovated industrial premises with ceilings 5-10 meters high and its own 10 MW substation.
In addition to the Babusia Marusia plant, the Western Ukrainian Industrial Hub industrial park is home to the companies Nasha Ptytsia (chicken processing), Delta Food (sauce production), Ternopil Meat Processing Plant (agricultural processing), as well as a logistics center, whose warehouses are used by six local and 16 relocated enterprises. The IP enterprises provide 860 jobs. At the same time, the park’s concept envisages the creation of 1,300 jobs.
According to data from Opendatabot, until 2020, the owner of Babusia Marusia Food Products Plant LLC was Ivan Chaykivsky, secretary of the parliamentary committee on agrarian and land policy and founder of Agropromservice. The business is currently run by his wife, Tetiana.
