A new large-scale investment project in the field of agricultural processing is planned in Lviv region — the Sapi Agro Park industrial park, preliminarily valued at more than UAH 790 million. The project is set to be implemented near the town of Kamianka-Buzka, with the first enterprises expected to begin operations as early as 2028.
The industrial park is planned on the outskirts of the village of Sapizhanka. A site of more than 11 hectares has been allocated for the project, currently occupied by an abandoned cattle farm that has not been used for many years and lacks utility infrastructure. As part of the project, the area will be fully redeveloped and prepared for modern industrial use.
The core focus of the future park will be agricultural processing. The concept envisions the placement of food industry enterprises, facilities for processing and preserving vegetables, fruit, and potatoes, as well as the production of starch, bakery products, flour and groats, vegetable oils, and fats. The project is positioned as a universal industrial park with a focus on processing agricultural raw materials.
The Sapi Agro Park site is expected to include warehouses, production facilities, a grain elevator complex, road and rail access infrastructure, as well as engineering networks and utilities. Total investment in construction is estimated at approximately UAH 796 million.
According to Valerii Kyrylko, head of the Industrial Parks of Ukraine group of companies, which is supporting the project, the initiators intend to move to the official registration of the industrial park in the near future, after which the construction phase will begin.
The initiators of Sapi Agro Park are the related companies Zerno+ LLC and Zerno Elevate LLC, both registered in Sapizhanka. According to YouControl data, 92% in both companies is owned by Estonia’s Field Services OU. The remaining stakes are held by Ukrainian partners Ivan Mirylo and Kyiv-based Oleksandr Kovylin.
The ultimate beneficiaries of the projects are listed as Estonian businessmen Jaanus Lehtmets and Ivar Toming. Both have experience working in Ukraine’s agricultural sector. In particular, Kovylin and Mirylo previously held managerial positions in the structures of one of Ukraine’s largest agricultural holdings, MHP, owned by Yurii Kosiuk. Ivar Toming also worked within the MHP system and later in agricultural companies engaged in pig farming and grain cultivation.
According to Estonia’s Inforegister, Field Services OU specializes in professional business management, and its share capital amounts to EUR 2,500.
Construction financing for the industrial park is planned under a co-financing model. The management company is expected to invest about UAH 20 million, future park participants up to UAH 590 million, state support will exceed UAH 100 million, and the project initiators will contribute another approximately UAH 80 million.
According to the investors’ plans, the first resident enterprises are expected to begin operations in the industrial park at the beginning of 2028. Full implementation of the project and commissioning of the facility are scheduled for the end of 2029. Once launched, the park is expected to create up to 500 jobs.
The Sapi Agro Park project could become one of the largest new agro-industrial parks in western Ukraine and strengthen Lviv region’s position as a center for agricultural processing and logistics.
