Andrii Zdesenko, president of the Biosphere Corporation, announced the sale of the diaper production line due to forecasts of a decline in the birth rate. According to him, this line was purchased by a partner company from Ternopil. In the future, "Biosphere" will remain a distributor of goods for children, but not a manufacturer of diapers.
Meanwhile, Biosphere Corporation will focus on tea production. At the beginning of 2024, the corporation introduced tea under the Graff brand to the Ukrainian market and plans to further develop in this direction.
