In Ukraine, the sale of one of the largest dairy enterprises — the Myrhorod Cheese Factory — has begun, along with nationalized pipe plants. The Myrhorod Cheese Factory, located in the Poltava region, is valued at $2 million. The facility occupies an area of 25,000 square meters and includes production workshops, several storage rooms, refrigerators covering 8,000 square meters, garages, and its own gas station. The workshops are suitable for organizing various types of production, and the available equipment allows for the production of cheeses and other dairy products.

History and Capacities of the Myrhorod Factory
The factory was established in 1982 for the production of whole milk products and butter. In 1990, an ice cream production workshop with a capacity of 2 tons per day was opened at the enterprise. In 2003, the factory became part of the state enterprise “Milkiland-Ukraine” and shifted its focus to the production of hard cheeses and dry milk whey. From 2004 to 2010, the enterprise underwent extensive modernization, which allowed it to increase milk processing to 250 tons per day. At its peak, the factory produced up to 24 tons of hard cheese, 11.5 tons of dry whey, and 4 tons of processed cheese per day.
Production Halt and Future of the Enterprise
Since July 31, 2014, the factory has halted production due to a ban on the export of dairy products to the Russian Federation, which previously accounted for 70–90% of its output. The equipment was conserved, and the plant operated as a milk reception point, sending raw materials to other enterprises of “Milkiland-Ukraine.” Currently, the factory’s premises are being rented out to various entrepreneurs.
Additionally, nationalized enterprises have appeared at privatization auctions: the Trading House “Eurotrubplast” with a starting price of ₴54.2 million and the Kalush Pipe Plant — over ₴139.6 million.
