25 April , 2018  

The state-owned enterprise (SOE) Ukrspyrt for the first since 2006 will supply 32,000 decaliters of spirit to Turkey, the SOE has said on its website.
According to the report, spirit will be distilled at the Kovalivka division of the SOE in Ternopil region.
The contract was implemented as part of the development plan of Ukrspyrt in line with the memorandum signed between the Ternopil Regional Administration and the SOE on February 2, 2018.
“A total of 10 tanker trucks arrived to us. They will take 32,000 decaliters of spirit for exports. The trucks will go to Odesa and then to Turkey using a ferry. Then we hope for tight cooperation with Turkish partners,” Head of Kovalivka division of Ukrspyrt Andriy Chorba said.
The Kovalivka division produces 2,000 decaliters of spirit a day, sending almost 90% of it for exports. The key partners are Hungary, Poland and Georgia.
Acting Ukrspyrt Director Yuriy Luchechko said that a vodka line for exports was launched in 2017. The company received an order to supply two more trucks to Germany, he said.
