In 2025, the Ternopil cereal factory EKOR TZ LLC modernized its production and installed a line for the production of six types of instant cereals, the company’s press service reported on Facebook.
“The company is launching a line for the production of six types of cereals, which was implemented in cooperation with the Ukrainian equipment manufacturer OLIS with the support of partners from USAID Agro,” the statement said.
The new production line will produce wheat, buckwheat, barley, pea, and two types of oat cereals.
“For us, this is not just a new production line—it is a strategic step towards the development of the Ukrainian processing sector. We want to show that it is possible to manufacture European-level products in Ukraine using domestic raw materials and modern technologies,” said Volodymyr Didenko, director of EKOR TZ LLC, whose words are quoted in the press release.
Basis equipment is used at the cereal packaging stage. Additional equipment has been installed to control weight and a metal detector to prevent metal objects from entering the product. Product quality is checked at every stage of production.
The company intends to expand its cereal business in 2026 and will produce cereal mixes: “5 grains” and “7 grains.” In addition, the company is currently exploring the prospect of producing energy bars and muesli and researching the equipment supplier market.
EKOR TZ LLC was established in 2021 in Ternopil. It specializes in the production of cereals for the flour milling industry, which it sells under the Ekor trademark. According to information on its website, the company annually produces 8,000 tons of buckwheat groats, 5,000 tons of wheat, barley, and pea groats, which are sold in Ukraine and exported to Canada, the US, Argentina, Brazil, Africa, India, China, and other countries.
