Agricultural holding Avesterra Group* plans to invest around €300 million over the next five years to expand production capacity, develop poultry farming and build a biomethane plant, ProAgro Group reports.
The announcement was made by the company’s owner Dmytro Dobkin during the opening of a new production site in the Volyn region.
According to him, investments in new poultry houses are part of the company’s long-term modernization strategy. About €15 million has already been invested in the new facility. By 2028, the company intends to build six additional production sites, each including 20 poultry houses. Total investments in this direction are estimated at about €100 million.
The project is expected to ensure full utilization of production capacities and increase output to around 250,000 broilers per day.
CEO Svitlana Sobipan noted that the new production site, covering more than 55,000 square meters and located on a 19-hectare area, is equipped with modern German Big Dutchman equipment. Currently, the poultry division of Avesterra Group includes 120 poultry houses capable of producing up to 35.1 million birds annually.
She added that the company continues to develop its business systematically with a focus on technology, biosecurity and stable product quality even under wartime conditions.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Avesterra Group has invested more than €75 million in the modernization of its enterprises. In 2025, the company paid over UAH 500 million in taxes to budgets of all levels, while total tax contributions since 2022 have exceeded UAH 1.5 billion.
*Avesterra Group is among the top four poultry producers in Ukraine and operates a full production cycle — from grain cultivation to processing and logistics of finished products. The company employs more than 1,500 people, operates 120 poultry houses, and runs a modern meat processing complex with a capacity of 13,500 broilers per hour. Its products are sold in Ukraine under the brands Epicur and Chebaturochka, and internationally under the Delika brand.
Earlier it was reported that Ukraine’s leading poultry producer MHP produced 493,000 tonnes of poultry meat in Ukraine in January–September 2025, which is 8% less than in the same period of 2024. At the same time, the holding increased production in its European operational segment.
