Market
The Company products has its own brands that compete in the middle and lower-middle market, segments that are the largest for dairy in Ukraine.
From 2000, the Ukrainian cheese market grew at a CAGR of 19%, but for Ukrainian cheese consumption (now 4 kg per capita) to converge with East European levels (e.g. 9.5 kg per capita in the Czech Republic) it would need to more than double.
The Company is closed joint stock company (CJSC). The owners are individual residents of Ukraine. The Company?s owners would like to attract investment through the sale of a controlling stake to either a strategic or financial buyer.
