ADM revamps Ukraine oilseed facility

Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) has reopened its oilseed processing facility in Chornomorsk (formerly Illichivsk), Ukraine, after completing a major expansion and improvement project that almost doubles the plant’s sunflower seed processing capacity and adds switch capacity that allows the plant to crush rapeseed.

“We are excited to reopen our improved and enhanced oilseed processing plant at Chornomorsk,” says Anton Povkhan, ADM general manager of EU Softseed Crush. “This expansion enables us to continue to efficiently grow our operations in eastern Europe and meet the needs of our food and feed customers in the region. In addition, by adding switch capacity to the facility, we now have more flexibility to quickly and effectively respond to shifts in the marketplace.”
