With support from USAID’s Economic Resilience Activity (ERA), at least 20 Ukrainian agricultural logistics companies can purchase grain handling equipment from the Kobzarenko Plant, an agricultural machinery manufacturer in Ukraine, at a 30% discount, potentially increasing the country’s grain exports and transshipment capacity by 2.5 million tons per year.
This USAID ERA initiative is available to micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) with annual revenues of less than EUR 40 million. Ukrainian agro-holding companies and firms that have already received or will soon receive assistance from USAID ERA are not eligible.
Qualified agri companies can purchase equipment to improve the efficiency of grain transshipment processes at critical nodes along the export route, including:
- Mobile wagon unpacker RWМ-180 (tractor and electric power variations)
- Ground transshipment bunkers BNP-12 “Kovcheg” (tractor and electric power variations)
- Ground transshipment bunkers BNP-3 “Kovcheg” (tractor power variation)
- Belt loader СN-25 (electric power variation)
ERA will cover 30% of the cost for 51 pieces of equipment from the Kobzarenko Plant.
