For the first time in 12 years, Ternopil Region has resumed alcohol exports to Turkey

Ternopil Region has started to export alcohol to Turkey again. For the first time since 2006 the Turkish company is buying alcohol from Kovalivka Place of Business which is in Monastyrshchyna District.

“10 tank vehicles have arrived that take for export 32 thousand dal of alcohol (1 dal equals 10 litres), - said the head of Kovalivka Place of Business of SE “Ukrspyrt” Andriy Chorba. – The vehicles will set off to Odesa from where they will sail off by ferry to Turkey. In the future we are very hopeful to maintain strong cooperation with ours Turkish partners”.

Kovalivka Place of Business – is one of the most powerful factories in the region. It is producing 2 thousand decalitres of alcohol per day. Almost 90% of alcohol is sent for export. The main partners are Hungary, Poland and Georgia. Besides that, the business provides work places to local citizen and population of the surrounding villages. In general over 100 people are working at the alcohol factory.

That’s exactly why it is important to develop the potential Ternopil region has in alcohol and vodka production sphere, because as said by the head the regional state administration Stepan Barna there are 11 alcohol factories in the region of which only 4 are operating.

“We need to design a common strategy in order to move in one direction, after all alcohol industry is very important as it does not only shape the budget of the state but also the budget of the region. And back in the day the alcohol industry was giving about 20% of its own revenues to Ternopil region”.

“That’s why we clearly persist that the factories that are ready and capable to produce high quality, competitive alcohols should further preserve their professional orientation on production of food-grade alcohol. The second category of factories that already cannot produce high quality alcohol have to be re-engineered to the production of bioethanol. And this issue needs to be tackled on the state level, and we are working on it”, - emphasized Stepan Barna.
