Open Joint Stock Company “Zolotonoshamiaso” (Cherkassy Region)

Background

Zolotonoshamiaso specializes in slaughtering and processing poultry, cattle, and pigs for production of sausages and other meat products. The company's annual output is 3,500 tons of meat with the annual revenues of UAH 8 mn (approximately $USD 1.7 million). The company employs 212 workers. It was founded in 1936 and was designed for processing poultry. In the 1950s the company started processing cattle and pigs. In late 1990s, Zolotonoshamiaso was privatized.

Technical Summary

The company’s main problem is its outdated heat supply and refrigeration systems. To improve operations the company needs to replace its boiler house with a possible transfer from mazut to natural gas, and install a power generator to protect it from power outages to guarantee stable refrigeration. One of the main project goals is to reduce GHG emissions through a reduced electricity consumption and rational heat energy use. At present, the data on the volumes of GHG emissions reduction are not available.

Estimated Cost

According to a preliminary estimate US$ 0,5 mn are required to implement the project.

Status and Financing

The company considers possible cooperation with investors in the form of a medium- or long-term credit, financial/operating leasing, or grant. A business plan is available in Ukrainian.
