Construction of agri-food production facilities to build resiliency against adverse weather events and yield crop variation. The project involves the construction of two grain storage facilities, one fodder processing plant and one sunflower crushing plant.
The project forms part of a major investment programme being implemented over several years to expand production capacity and improve resource efficiency and environmental sustainability. In addition, the project enhances food security, as it promotes self sufficiency of the host country in terms of locally processed feed and food ingredients and increased storage capacity, thus improving resiliency of the Ukrainian agri-food sector against adverse weather shocks, mainly droughts (climate change adaptation).

Environmental aspectsWithin the EU the Project would, by virtue of its technical characteristics, fall under the scope of Annex II of EIA Directive 2011/92/EU. An Environmental Impact Study (EIS) was required under Ukrainian legislation. This was completed in 2010. Based on the EIS, the Ukrainian Authorities granted the “ecological permit” in 2010 to the promoter, which is a condition of the granting of the construction permit. The project incorporates best available techniques for emissions abatement and air and water emissions are expected to be within the limits represented by international and European standards. The generated waste is neither significant nor of a dangerous nature and corresponding and appropriate disposal mechanisms have been already established.
The promoter will be required to comply with the Bank’s Guide to Procurement.
