Construction of a new flour milling complex with a capacity of 60 tonnes per day has started in Ukraine’s Ternopil region. The project is being implemented by processing company Ternotsvit, while Turkey’s Ozbaşak Değirmen is supplying the equipment. The complex is being built on the site of the company’s existing facility about 10 km from Ternopil. The contract has already been signed, the advance payment has been made, and installation of the steel structures for the equipment has begun. The facility is scheduled to launch in June 2026.
The total investment in the project is around $700,000 and covers not only the mill itself, but also infrastructure, additional power capacity, and expanded storage space. For Ternotsvit, this is effectively a production modernization project: the company currently operates older mills with a combined installed capacity of up to 30 tonnes per day, but its actual effective processing capacity is significantly lower, according to the company. The new complex is expected to triple production capacity and stabilize product quality.
An additional detail of importance to investors is that the project is being designed from the outset with an option for scaling up. According to Elevatorist, the new mill will be automated, and its configuration will allow capacity to be increased from 60 to 90 tonnes per day in the future. The complex will process both soft and hard wheat to produce flour and bran, giving the company flexibility across different demand segments, from bakery products to pasta manufacturing.
Ternotsvit itself is not a new market entrant, but an operating regional processing business. According to YouControl, the legal entity Trading Company Ternotsvit LLC was registered in 2011 in the village of Domamorych, Ternopil district, and its core business activity is the manufacture of flour and groats products. Opendatabot’s latest available financial data shows the company’s revenue at around UAH 52 million, net profit at about UAH 2.4 million, and assets at about UAH 19 million.
The project’s foreign partner also adds weight to the investment case. Turkey’s Ozbaşak Değirmen is a milling equipment manufacturer based in Konya, founded in 1994, operating under the EKONOMILL brand in the flour milling systems segment. The company profile states that it supplies equipment for grain processing, including roller mills, plansifters, packaging systems, and conveying solutions for grain, flour, and bran. For the Ukrainian project, this means not just the purchase of individual machines, but the involvement of a specialized foreign technology partner.
Ternotsvit buys grain from farmers in Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, and partly Vinnytsia regions, and operates its own elevator with a storage capacity of around 1,500 tonnes. The company focuses on niche products for the bakery, confectionery, and pasta industries, and names Turkey, African countries, Romania, and the United Kingdom among its export markets. Customs records separately confirm the company’s export activity: in March 2025, shipments of wheat bran to Turkish buyer ELIN AGRO TARIM URUNLERI were recorded.
Alongside the construction of the mill, the company is expanding storage space, developing packaging in 25 kg and 50 kg bags, and also plans to increase elevator capacity and double its solar generation to 250 kW. This indicates that the project is not a one-off equipment purchase, but part of a broader modernization program for the processing site.
The project in Ternopil region fits into the broader trend toward local grain processing in Ukraine. Back in June 2025, an industry association reported that two new grain processing enterprises were expected to appear in the country, including one flour milling project in western Ukraine. This means Ternotsvit’s investment is not an isolated case, but part of a wider wave of processing development closer to the raw material base and western logistics corridors.
